BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs.

BusinessOur StrategyOur objective is to develop and commercialize our product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally andcontributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion of the immune systemand/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and cells of the tumor microenvironment such as Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells (“MDSC”) proliferate toprotect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic inflammationresults in innate immune system dysfunction and disease progression. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”) andnonalcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will initially focus on treatingresistant disease women with relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we willtreat patients with advanced cancers with elevated biomarkers of inflammation in their blood and evidence of disease that is resistant to immunotherapy includingwomen with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595, targets Alzheimer’s Disease which we initiated once we received a nondilutivefunding from the Alzheimer’s Association as a $1 million US dollar ParttheCloud Award (as described below). is progressing through Phase I trials. Our fourth drugcandidate, LivNate, will be used to treat patients with NASH. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of oncology patients with our lead product candidates,INKmune and INB03;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our leadproduct candidates, XPro1595;●pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of NASH in patients with our lead product candidates,LivNate;●adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite intorelated immunotherapeutic areas;●provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payers, such as managed care companies or government programs like Medicare, to meritreimbursement for our product candidates; and●Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DNTNF platform that includes INB03,XPro 1595 and LivNate product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.1Pursue development and regulatory approval pathways. We believe INKmune, INB03 and XPro1595 may be approvable under pathways that arepotentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug Act andapproval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet had a discussionwith the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in 2020. We believe both ourINB03 HER2+ metastatic breast cancer program, high risk MDS and ovarian carcinoma treatment programs fit the criteria used by the FDA to grant these regulatorydesignations. We believe that it would take a minimum of six months to receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months toreceive a designation once we submit an application. We might never have these discussions, submit applications under the Orphan Drug Act as the FDAAccelerated Approval Program or have these applications approved if we do.Adopt a twopronged patent strategy. We are pursuing a twopronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to preventcompetition and expand our IP suite into related immunotherapeutic areas. We are confident that our core inlicensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will allow usboth freedomtooperate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We will also seek tofurther to strengthen our IP position by looking to inlicense IP related to immunotherapeutic strategies focused on the innate immune system.Provide clear value propositions to thirdparty payors to merit reimbursement for our product candidates. We are designing our clinical developmentprograms to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to thirdparty payors. We believethe use of INKmune and/or INB03 in patients with a high risk of tumor progression and death from tumor should prolong survival, improve the patient’s quality oflife and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires anexpensive, hospitalbased treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an outpatient may provide a more durable remission and limitthe need for treatmentassociated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03 therapy, once approved, should improve survival andquality of life. At the payor level, we believe INKmune, once approved, should provide more predictable costs and outcomes. Therapies for Alzheimer’s disease areneeded for medical, social and economic reasons. The cost of Alzheimer’s disease to the government is large and growing. The cost to families and care givers is realand burdensome. We believe treatment of patients with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease insociety today. NASH, a silent epidemic in the US due to the high incidence of obesity, is expected to be the most common cause of liver transplant 2030. There areno approved therapies for the NASH at this time.Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology. We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The first is thefurther development of INKmune, INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 by either providing additional innovations to the product, including combination therapy strategies,and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of our products eitherglobally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified a way tomanufacture human mesenchymal stem cells for the medical research and biotech community that offers large volumes of highquality, low passage human umbilicalcord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batchtobatch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with supplying an adequate supply ofhuman mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. The process to produce pooled, human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells was developed at UniversityCollege London. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the UnitedKingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that reliably produces contract manufacturer of the clinical grade (“cGMP”) quality mesenchymalstem cells. The manufacturing process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We havenegotiated an exclusive 10year license to the manufacturing process from University College London Business, the licensing organization of University CollegeLondon. We will seek academic laboratories and biopharma companies who need a reliable source of high quality pooled human umbilical cord mesenchymal stemcells for research of and development of clinical products. Once identified, we plan to act as a cGMP for the development of therapeutic products by utilizingcontract manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customeridentified. We have identified several contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangementwith academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of feeforservice and licensing that does not require additional investment by us. We willbe opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The regulatory path fortherapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for other cell therapies. We willonly be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is being developed by a third party. Whendeveloping a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all aspects of the regulatory process.2Overview of Immunotherapy for CancerThe immune system has two parts, innate and adaptive. The innate immune system is the body’s first line of defense against an infection, providingimmediate, nonspecific responses to eliminate harmful cells in the body. Components of the innate immune system include cytokines, chemokines, macrophages,neutrophils and NK cells, among others.The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and plays a roleprotecting against reinfection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from prior exposure. Keycomponents of the adaptive immune system include antibodies which bind to antigens and mark them for destruction by other immune cells, Bcells which producethese antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and Tcells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for therapeuticuse. Some of these approaches are summarized below.Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin2 (“IL2”). Interferons aremolecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of care forhepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous Tcell lymphoma,myeloma and nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. However, the use of interferons has generally decreased over the years due to serious adverse events (e.g., flulikesymptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more convenient administration althoughAlphainterferon remains the treatment of choice for some hematological conditions such as polycythemia. IL2 activates Tcells and NK cells to attack diseasedcells. IL2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians often only resort to this therapy for the most advancedsettings. Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (“TNF”) is the focus of INB03. TNF biology has four elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and transmembraneTNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and 2 (“TNFR1” and “TNFR2”). The biology of TNF ligation of TNFR variesdramatically based on what elements of the TNF system that are used. sTNF binding to TNFR1 is responsible for inflammation and cell death while sTNF binding toTNFR2 promotes proliferation of regulatory T cells (“Treg”). In patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to longterm survival. tmTNF canbind either TNFR to improve the immune response, promote cell survival and stimulate remyelination. In brief, sTNF is the “bad” TNF and tmTNF is the “good”TNF. In patients with cancer, infection or neurologic disease, blockade of tmTNF function has negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increasedinfection and demyelination.Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats; monoclonal (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibodydrug conjugates. mAbs represent an effectivetherapeutic modality and are important to the treatment paradigm of various diseases. Drug manufacturers have leveraged mAbs’ ability to induce an antibodydependent cellmediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients. In addition, mAbs designedto inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune responses have led to profoundtherapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune system of patients, many of whom areseverely immunocompromised. For example, despite over $1.0 billion of sales generated by recently launched PD1 and PDL1 checkpoint inhibitors, they arereported to be generally only effective in approximately 10% to 25% of the addressable patient population. In addition, mAbs are manufactured through a complexprocess that requires purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bispecific antibodies, are able to target more than oneantigen. These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy orradio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.3Dendritic Cell Therapies. This approach is designed to indirectly stimulate a patient’s Tcells by leveraging the role of dendritic cells in presentingantigens to Tcells. Cancer vaccines are the most common application of dendritic cells. The only FDAapproved dendritic cell therapy is PROVENGE, which entailscollecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens, and then reinfusing in the patient.Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of the patient. There are additional ongoingpreclinical studies and clinical trials being conducted by our competitors aimed at addressing certain of the limitations associated with this approach. To date,current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.CART and TCR Therapies. Tcells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased cells. CARTtherapy entails genetically engineering Tcells to express synthetic CARs that direct Tcells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR therapy modifies Tcellsto express highaffinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intracellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target cells. In early clinical trials, CARTand TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive antitumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers and garnered significant attention by researchinstitutions and biopharmaceutical companies. We believe a key limitation of adaptive autologous immunotherapy is the need to retrieve noncompromised immunecells from a cancer patient which requires a complex and costly manufacturing process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process isreflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CART therapies tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel for advanced leukemia and lymphomarespectively. The cost of a single therapy is many hundreds of thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active Tcells, current Phase I clinicaltrials for autologous CART cell therapy in large part enroll patients from highly selected, often relatively earlystage disease in a narrow spectrum of cancers,including bulky hematological cancers. In addition, Phase I clinical trials of CART cell immunotherapy have reported severe adverse toxicities of cytokine releasesyndrome and neurotoxicity, requiring hospitalization, preconditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated withcytokine release syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CART and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain ofthe limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including solidtumors.Checkpoint Inhibitors. Immune cells express proteins that are immune checkpoints that control and downregulate the immune response. These are bestdefined in T lymphocytes and include PD1, CTLA4, TIM3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells bind the ligand to theseproteins on the tumor cells, the T cell is turned off and does not attempt to attack the tumor cell. Thus, checkpoint inhibitors (“CPI”) are part of the complex strategyused by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy. Biopharmaceutical companies have successfullydeveloped CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab,nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others.More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancertherapy and are expected to be the best selling class of drugs by 2027.NK Cells. NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system responsiblefor innate immunity. Unlike adaptive immune cells, they are ever present and ready to attack, having the inherent ability to detect and eliminate diseased cellswithout the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines, including,interferons and GMCSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent a critical effector cellfor ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively destroyed by the NK cells.MDSC Cells: MDSC are present in very low quantities in healthy patients. MDSC develop and proliferate in patients with chronic infection and withcancer. In cancer, MDSC are a unique and welldefined cell population that home to the cancer and secrete immunosuppressive cytokines that provide a protective,immunosuppressive shield to the tumor. This protective immunosuppressive shield prevents the patient’s immune system from attacking the tumor. The presence ofMDSC in the tumor microenvironment and/or circulating in the patient’s blood predict for more advanced disease, resistance to immunotherapy and a worse patientsurvival.4INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product CandidateINKmune is our lead product candidate that converts resting NK cells into primed NK cells, an essential step in them becoming activated cancerkilling NKcells. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.●Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of residual disease thatcauses cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK cells to activate and killthe cancer cell. We call these cancer antigens “priming signals” and “triggering signals” respectively. An NK cell must receive a series of multiplesignals through a network of cell surface receptors constituting of both priming and triggering signals. Crucially, we have shown that the primingsignals can be delivered independent of the triggering such that one cell, such as INKmune, may deliver priming signals and the patient cancer celldeliver the second set and induce killing. Cancer cells defective in priming signals evade NK killing so the cancer cell survives and grows. Both primingand triggering signals are not a single surface molecule on the NK cell, but a complex combination of signals from multiple cell surface ligands whichlead to NK priming and triggering respectively. Cancer cells also express molecules which can inhibit NK cell priming and triggering and the finaloutcome of the NKcancer cell conjugation is a balance of all of these signals. In summary, INKmune shifts that balance of stimulating and inhibitorysignals to enhance the ability of resting NK cells to kill a wide range of patient cancers. [Sabry Lowdell Frontiers, North et al JI and Sabry et al JI andTsirogianni et al AmJ Hematol]. This concept is shown in the schematic form in Figure 1 below.●The main “job” of a cancer cell is to survive and grow. Unfortunately, the “successful” cancer cell ultimately kills the host. The first priority for survivalis to evade NK cell killing. The vast majority, >98%, of cancer cells do this by downregulating expression of priming ligands. When an NK cellinterrogates a cancer cell lacking sufficient priming signals the NK cell is unable to trigger lysis. This allows the cancer to evade NK cell killing to grow,and, we believe, is one of the causes of cancer relapse.●We have described the functional biology underlying the interaction of NK cells and cancer cells. We believe that we have learned to counteract theloss of the priming signals by artificially providing these signaling ligands to the resting NK cell by exposure to a proprietary tumor cell line whichconstitutively expresses them. We call this product candidate INKmune. When we deliver INKmune to a resting NK cell, it provides priming signals toconvert the resting NK cell into a tumor primed NK cell (“TpNK”). TpNK are poised to kill any cancer cell that expresses adequate triggering ligands.Based on our extensive preclinical testing, we believe this covers a large and heterogenous array of primary human cancers including hematologicmalignancies such as acute myelogenous leukemia, multiple myeloma, lymphoma, and solid tumors such as breast, prostate, renal, lung, and ovariancancer. The TpNK binds to the cancer cell, becomes an activated NK cell that will kill the cancer cell that was previously resistant to NK cell killing.Based on the preclinical data, we believe INKmune will convert the patient’s resting NK cells to primed NK cells will allow the patient’s NK cells to killtheir tumor.5●We believe there are advantages of NK cells primed with INKmune (TpNK) compared to cytokine primed NK cells (“LAK”) or monoclonal antibodytargeted NK cells (“MabNK”). Both LAK and MabNK require the priming/targeting agent to be present at all times for the NK cell to be a cancer killingcell. As soon as the cytokine or Mab are removed, the NK cell becomes a resting NK cell that cannot kill the cancer cell. INKmune provides a sustained“on” switch even after the INKmune reagent has been removed. Once INKmune causes the resting NK cell to become a TpNK, the NK cell remainsprimed and ready to kill until its lytic capacity has been exhausted by lysis of tumor cells. The second advantage is that TpNK can prime resting NKcells by contactdependent activation and thus enhance the initial INKmunemediated priming. Third, TpNK do not require a specific target comparedto MabNK. Trastuzumab (Herceptin™), a Mab targeting HER2 on breast cancer is an illustrative example. Women with HER2 positive breast cancer,20% of all women with breast cancer, can be treated with and benefit from Herceptin immunotherapy. Unfortunately, the other 80% who are HER2negative, have a worse survival rate because they can not avail themselves to Trastuzumab immunotherapy. INKmune may benefit the women withHER2 negative breast cancer. We believe the preclinical and clinical data using tumor primed NK cells indicates that signals delivered by cancer cellsare adequate to provide priming and activation of NK cells to kill the cancer and possibly eliminate the need for MabNK.●We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK cells andin many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase Itrials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and used a firstgeneration personalized cell therapyproduct. In these trials, haploidentical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed exvivo using a lysate of the parentcell line from which we derived INB16 INKMune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient receivedconditioning therapy with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haploidentical NK cells were given to patients byintravenous infusion. Two Phase I clinical trials have been performed using the firstgeneration treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trialperformed at the Royal Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, highrisk AML were enrolled in thetrial. Because of dropout due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteenpatients were treated with the TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product withprolonged relapse free remission and, in one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; allpatients ultimately died from disease progression. The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapyconditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention includingprolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in amedical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multicentertrial was performed in the US using virtually the same product and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial,12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haploidentical TpNK product produced using the first generation exvivo primingprocess. After conditioning with chemotherapy, the patients received TpNK in three dosing cohorts – 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6 TpNK per kilogram.Patients were followed for safety and relapse free survival. This trial confirmed the safety of the TpNK treatment in patients with AML and reinforcedmany of the efficacy findings seen in the first trial with none of the previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haploidentical TpNKtherapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that remain in remission more than 42 months after treatment. This trial has beenpublished. (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.) The results of the laboratory andPhase I studies provide evidence that our strategy for treating residual disease is sensible but unproven.●Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancersincluding hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expectthe list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.●The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxicchemotherapy and surgery. At this time, we plan to give INKmune as monotherapy. We do not rule out the possibility of using INKmune as part ofcombination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believeINKmune is a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication,clinical trials will need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficultyand cost of achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven tobe effective therapy in patients with ovarian cancer and highrisk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate orrenal cancer.6Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:INKmune GMP scaleup for Phase I/II clinical materialWe contracted with Advent Bioservices, a contract manufacturing organization, to produce the master cell bank for INKmune using good manufacturingpractice, or GMP, clinical material. Advent Bioservices used GMP manufacturing facilities leased from the Centre of Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (“CCGTT”)at the Royal Free Hospital. The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial will be produced at the Royal FreeHospital in the CCGTT to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under the direction of Professor Mark Lowdell. The Company is able toproduce enough INKmune to complete both Phase I clinical trials in women with ovarian cancer and in patients with highrisk MDS as required and in advance. Wehave validated storage of INKmune for up to 12 months in vapour phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable, closed system manufacturing process which canproduce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 litre bioreactor.Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKMune at 80oC for up to three months which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug forclinical trials and post commercialization. In contrast, all other NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phasenitrogen below 150oC and specialized arrangements for ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials. Planning forsite of manufacture and the financing for that manufacturing has not been made at this point.INKmune Biomarker Development ProgramWe have discovered two biomarker strategies that we believe can be used to demonstrate: i) who should receive INKmune therapy; ii) if the INKmunetherapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer, we expect the biomarker testingwill be performed in a single laboratory under our direction. In the near future, we will develop assay systems with standard operating procedures to ensure uniformtesting of the biomarker across clinical sites. This will facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate that, in the future, the biomarkerprogram may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune DevelopmentWe met with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meeting inSeptember 2017. The purpose of the meeting was to explain to the MHRA our manufacturing process and clinical plan for the development of INKmune in a PhaseI/II trial in relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We submitted a Clinical Trial Authorization (“CTA”) in the fourth quarter of 2018 to support the ovarian cancer PhaseI/II trial in the United Kingdom, which was accepted on December 18, 2018. We are in the process of completing the steps to open two clinical sites to perform thePhase I portion of the clinical trial and the protocol modification for the phase Ionly trial will be submitted to MHRA for approval in Q1 2020. We have not chosensites for the Phase II portion of the clinical trial.INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancerDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Patients will be enrolled who have a low burden ofrelapse refractory disease and have peripheral blood or ascites NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study designagreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for a twostep Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I studyfollowed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital.We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, women with relapse refractory ovarian cancer will be treated with INKmune, given as anintraperitoneal infusion through an indwelling peritoneal catheter in a traditional open label study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to becarried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on preclinical studies that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells intheir peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NKresistant ovarian cell line, we believe intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune will betherapeutically effective. Three clinical trials support this observation. Two clinical trials have been performed using the first generation haploidentical TpNKproduct in patients with AML. Both of those studies have been published (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection2015) and (Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2018 Mar 26. pii: S10838791(18)301320. doi: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.). In summary, the studies showed that TpNKtherapy, when delivered by intravenous infusion after conditioning therapy, was effective in providing prolong remissions with a toxicity profile that wasmanageable. TpNK therapy has not been delivered via intraperitoneal infusion, but a similar treatment strategy is used for the delivery of TALL104 cells. TALL104is a replication incompetent human MHC nonrestricted cytotoxic Tcell leukemic cell line that has been extensively studied and used to treat a number of cancers.Currently, Galileo Research, an Italian biotech company, has used TALL104 in a Phase II clinical trial to treat women with ovarian cancer(http://www.galileoresearch.it/en/pipeline/TALL104.html). In that study, TALL104 is delivered via intraperitoneal infusion. Although the efficacy of the therapy isnot yet known, the therapy is well tolerated with toxicities mainly related to the infusion catheter, not related to the TALL104 infusion. The primary end points of theINKmune Phase I trial are safety and determining the dose of INKmune to take into the Phase II portion of the clinical trial. The key secondary efficacy endpoints tobe studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii) increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in abioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dosehave been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a group of control patients who receive only standard of care. Weexpect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase by as many as 18.7INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high risk MDSDuring 2020, we plan to initiate an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Patients will be enrolledwho have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy and have peripheral blood NK cells which can respond to INKmune in a laboratory testof NK function. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at a single UK site, University Hospital Southampton. A UK contract research organization hasbeen appointed and we expect to initiate trial by the second quarter of 2020.In the Phase I trial, patients with detectable residual disease in bone marrow and/orperipheral blood (<15% blasts by conventional tests) will be treated with intravenous infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NKactivation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone marrow. We and others have previously shown that MDS patients with inadequateNK function have statistically significantly poorer prognosis than matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown inlaboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmuneprimed NK cellsare not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.INKmune Registration Studies and/or PartneringAfter completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for ovariancarcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target for NK cells and animportant unmet clinical need in emerging markets such as mainland China. We expect to have biopharma partners participate in this decision. We may also seek tobe acquired at this stage or partner INKmune. Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also beattractive for markets on the Pacific Rim, South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at thistime, we are not negotiating with any potential partners.Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells exvivo (described above) and this includes priming ofNK cells differentiated from cordblood derived hematopoietic stem cells (Domogala et al Cytotherapy 2017: 19:710720). Numerous companies are developingtherapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate their product by coincubation or coadministration with INKmune.8INKmune Regulatory StrategyINKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one group of patientsreceived INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design clinical trial for ovarian cancer.And have used that advice to plan both current phase I trials. We plan to perform the Phase I trials with INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trialsauthorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase II programs to additional sites in theUnited Kingdom and the US. We will meet with the FDA once we have data from the Phase I trials. Because there are no therapies similar to INKmune approved inany market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includesOrphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, andpriority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which of these programs we will benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with theFDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”).Emerging Market OpportunityThe cancer therapy market is large, diverse and competitive. Although the concept of immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies has been around formore than 20 years, the concept that patient derived immunosuppressive factors was a barrier to effective cancer treatment was recently recognized and had its firsttherapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, five additional “check point” inhibitors have been approved, but themarket is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumorbased immunosuppression focus is on the adaptive immune system (“Tcells”). Therole of, and the importance of manipulating the innate immune system has more recently become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innateimmune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and treatment (killing). MDSCs are part of the innate immune system that only appear oncethe patient has chronic inflammation, a common occurrence in patients with cancer. The main role of the MDSC is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’simmune system. Because Tcell focused strategies do not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half ofthe patient’s immune system, the innate immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require acoordinated attack by the patient’s adaptive and innate immune system. Normalizing the response of the innate immune system requires eliminating the dysregulatedinnate immune response that decreases the patient’s ability to see and attack the cancer as well as mechanisms the protect the cancer from immunologic attack(effector and protector function respectively). INKmune primes NK cells to enable them to attack the tumor. INB03, by decreasing the proliferation and function ofMDSC, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through NK/DC crosstalk, recruit the adaptive immunesystem to the fight.Challenges in the Market for Our Product CandidatesThe market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger, betterfinanced and have greater experience. There are two types of drug companies – development companies and commercial companies. Development companies takethe risk of developing new products to proofofconcept. Once proofofconcept has been achieved, if the drug provides clinical benefit, the product is usuallyacquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We are a development company which will seek todevelop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proofofconcept. The goal for us is to successfully develop such products to thepoint where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the market isbiased towards T cellbased immunotherapies including bispecific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CART cellbased therapies. There are substantialnumbers of clinical trials that are focused on the adaptive immune system versus clinical trials that are focused on the innate immune system for the treatment ofcancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cellbased therapeutic strategies. The need to educate people of the importance of INB03 isequally challenging. At the academic level, there is recognition that therapies targeting MDSC are needed to improve the results of immunotherapies. Investors andpotential partners are only now learning about MDSC. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MDSC and why INB03 may be an importantaddition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task than trying todifferentiate our company from the many other cancer immunotherapy companies. We plan to use a combination of publication, presentation and investor relationsto promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these novel therapeutic approaches.9INKmune CompetitionOur industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. Our potential competitors include large pharmaceutical andbiotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and research institutions. We believethat key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our product candidates are efficacy, safety, tolerability, reliability, price andreimbursement level. Many of our potential competitors, including many of the organizations named below, have substantially greater financial, technical and humanresources than we do and significantly greater experience in the discovery and development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvalsof products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly, our competitors may be more successful than us in obtaining FDA approval for andachieving widespread market acceptance of their drugs. Our competitors’ drugs may be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold, than any drug we maycommercialize and may render our product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive before we can recover the expenses of developing and commercializing any ofour product candidates. We anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies becomeavailable. Further, the development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs noncompetitive or obsolete.INKmune is an immunotherapy that harnesses the biology of NK cells for the treatment of cancer. There is a long list of immunotherapy strategies for thetreatment of cancer and the immunotherapy for cancer market is growing rapidly. There are at least three ways to classify immunotherapy for cancer. The list belowclassifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:1.Companies in the NK cell therapy business;2.Companies in the personalized immuneoncology business; and3.Companies in the precision immunooncology business.We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of three public companies in the NK cell therapybusiness: NantKwest, Fate Therapeutics and Glycostem. These companies are developing products that involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patientfor the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive exvivo cell manipulations which, with respect to NantKwest and Fate Therapeutics, may include genetherapy. The next larger group of companies are in the personalized immunooncology business with products focused on T cell activation strategies. The mostpopular are the CART cell therapies which are a patient specific exvivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CART therapy hasbecome wildly popular of late and includes many private companies, newer public companies such as Bluebird, Juno Therapeutics and Mustang Bio as well asestablished companies such as Novartis and Gilead. For many of the companies, CART cell therapies is their only business. For the latter two, CART cell therapiesis a newly inlicensed program with marketing authorization in the US. Finally, the precision immuneoncology category also includes companies with anticancerantibody products and the newer “checkpoint” inhibitors. Antibody therapies are all about “illuminating” the cancer to the innate immune system (NK cells).Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of wellknown biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche, Amgen, Merckand others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more complicated bispecificand trispecific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated Tcells of the adaptive immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors are currently the mostrapidly expanding product category in immunooncology. These CTLA4 (ipilimumab) and PD1 inhibitors (pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block amechanism that shields cancers from Tcell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck (pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There aremany others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies such as BMS and Roche.10There are a number of FDA approved drugs that improve the ability of the innate immune system (NKcells) to treat cancer including monoclonal antibodytherapies (for example: Rituximab®; Avastin® and Herceptin® marketed by Roche/Genentech); and “checkpoint” inhibitors (Yervoy® and Opdivo®, BMS,Keytruda®, Merck and others). There is a large amount of development activity in the immune checkpoint inhibitor field from both pharmaceutical giants includingAstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many startups, small companies and university spinoffs which haveemerged in the past two years. Examples (in alphabetical order) include Agenus, Alligator Bioscience, Ambrx, AnaptysBio, argenx, Bioceros, BioNovion, CellerantTherapeutics, Checkpoint Therapeutics, Compugen, CureTech, Enumeral, Five Prime Therapeutics, Genmab, GITR, ImmuNext, IOmet Pharma, iTeos Therapeutics,Jounce Therapeutics, KAHR Medical, Multimeric Biotherapeutics, Nativis, Orega Biotech, Pelican Therapeutics, Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Prima BioMed, Redx Pharma,Sorrento Therapeutics, Tesaro, TG Therapeutics, Theravectys and ToleroTech active in the field. The list of companies with polyspecific antibodies that attempt tolink the cancer with a cytotoxic T cell is long, includes both private and public companies (Amgen, Xencor, FStar, Merus and many others). Finally, two CART celltherapies were just approved for the treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization inthe immuneoncology space.To our knowledge, there are three companies with NK cell immunotherapies in development. NantKwest, (NASDAQ Global Select Market) is an early stagebiotech company that is using a genetically engineering strategy of a NK cell line to produce a live, offtheshelf NK cell product to treat a variety of cancers. Theclinical data for this product is sparse at this time. FateNK 100 and Engineered hnCD16iNK from Fate Therapeutics are product candidates designed to replace orsupplement NK cells in patients with cancer. Glycostem is a biotech company with proprietary technology for the differentiation and expansion of allogeneic NKcells from CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells from unused umbilical cord blood units. It has conducted a single trial in AML in a center in the Netherlands. Thecompany has perfected its manufacturing process and expects to open clinical trials in myeloma in 2021.To our knowledge, there are no innate immune checkpoint inhibitors in development that have the unique characteristics of INB03 that neutralize sTNF to:i) decreases the proliferation of MDSC; ii) decreasing local and systemic immunosuppression caused by MDSC by stopping production of immunosuppressivecytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC crosstalk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.INB03 CompetitionTo our knowledge, there are no other innate immune system checkpoint inhibitors in development that combine the characteristics of decreasing thepopulation and function of MDSC while promoting NK/DC crosstalk that expands and recruits the adaptive immune response to attack the patient’s tumor. Lilly isdeveloping LY3022855, a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing theirsurvival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS8273a, a TRIALR2 agonisticantibody in combination with a PDL1 inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX104, an orallybioavailable small molecule immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX682. SX682 is a smallmolecule dualinhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapyresistance, and myeloid cell suppressionof cancer surveillance by the adaptive immune system. By blocking the CXCR1/2 pathway, SX682 may prevent recruitment of MDSC to the tumormicroenvironment. The University of Minnesota has a trivalent antibody program aimed at treating patients with advanced hematologic malignancies. This CD16/IL15/CD33 (161533) TriSpecific Killer Engagers (TriKes) product may target CD33+ MDSC. Siamab Therapeutics is developing an antisialylTn monoclonal antibodythat targets MDSC in some tumor types. Clathera Biosciences, in collaboration with Incyte, a US based biotech, is developing CB1158 (INCB01158), an arginaseinhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB1158 with nivolumab, an antiPD1 CPI marketed by Bristol Myers Squib. ReataPharmaceuticals is testing omaveloxolone (RTA 408) in the phase Ib/II REVEAL trial in combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivoo) inpatients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved nonselective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, arenot considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer because of their mechanism of action and safety side effects. Non selective TNF inhibitorsblock the function of both sTNF and tmTNF. Blockade of tmTNF is immunosuppressive increasing the risk of infection and cancer in patients. This is shown inFigure 3 below where maintaining function to tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself againstinfection. Blockade or knockout of both sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.11Intellectual PropertyThe INKmune product candidate is protected by a family of patents pending in the United States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), in theInternational Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), and in patent offices for variousforeign jurisdictions.

Pursuant to the license agreement,the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sublicense) to the technology and knowhow relating to an isolation and commercial scale expansionmethodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).17In exchange for the license agreement, the Company paid UCLB an initial license fee of approximately $10,000 and shall pay annual licensing fees ofapproximately $13,000 per year for the remaining term of the agreement beginning in July 2020. The Company will pay UCLB a royalty of 33.5%% of the net salesvalue (as defined in the agreement) of all licensed products sold or used by the Company. In the event the Company sublicenses the technology and knowhow, theCompany will pay UCLB a royalty of twelve (12) percent of the consideration (cash or noncash) received by the Company in relation to the development or sublicensing of any of the technology and knowhow.Joint Development AgreementOn September 3, 2016, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with Novamune, Inc. (“Novamune”) (the “Development Agreement”).Novamune is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company. Novamune had previously developed and licensed technology relating to exvivo activation ofNK cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. The parties agreed to exclusively collaborate on the further development of technologies related to NK cellsfor therapeutic applications. The Company and Novamune agreed to share equally in the costs related to such joint development projects and agreed to jointly ownany intellectual property developed by the joint projects, provided that Novamune shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual propertyrelating to exvivo applications and the Company shall have an exclusive royalty free license to use any such intellectual property relating to invivo applications.The Company completed its part of the Novamune Agreement and does not currently expect to receive any future reimbursements from Novamune.INKmune Research and DevelopmentWe expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.INKmune ManufacturingWe intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and for anyFDA approved products for commercial sale. Preclinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured under the direction ofMark Lowdell and Advent Bioservices International, our strategic partner, at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, workingcell bank and individual product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. If weraise adequate capital to initiate the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials, additional working cell banks and therapeutic product will be produced from the existing mastercell bank. This process takes approximately 6 months and is not anticipated to delay the initiation of the highrisk MDS Phase I/II trials. We may transfer themanufacturing to a different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.Human Mesenchymal Stem CellsIn November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and largestnondirected cord blood bank in the United Kingdom for the supply the starting material for the mesenchymal stem cells umbilical cords not used after cord bloodharvest. Mark Lowdell's research group developed and validated a methodology for producing large numbers of clinicalgrade pooled human umbilical cord derivedmesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of highquality a may solve one of the major problemsassociated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. Under this agreement we were granted a license to produce and sell these cells formedical research, including clinical trials. The agreement provides that Immune Bio Internal shall pay to AN £200 plus VAT (if applicable) for each umbilical cordtissue sample (and any intellectual property, developed, or conceived by Immune Bio International in exercising its rights under the agreement (“Licensed Product”))Immune Bio International receives pursuant to the agreement. Additionally, during the entire term of the agreement, Immune Bio International shall pay AN a royaltyof 2% of the net sales of the Licensed Product. We believe we are well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC forclinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed under the direction of Mark Lowdell in a licensed GMP facility that is contracted to the Company as part ofexisting research and development agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facilityare fully qualified to be used for either research or clinical trials. Currently, we plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials aspart of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or developmentopportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with ANterminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissuesamples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materiallybreach any term of the agreement and such breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.18Our Innate Immune DominantNegative TNF product candidateWe renamed XPro1595, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro1595when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease discussed below. INB03 and XPro1595 are the same drug with different namesfor marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor that we believe prevents proliferation of MDSC and decreases the secretion ofimmunosuppressive cytokines that protect the tumor from the patient’s immunologic attack and help make the tumor resistant to immunotherapy. INB03, byinhibiting soluble TNF without inhibiting transmembrane TNF or TNF receptors (“tmTNF” and “TNFR” respectively), alters the immunoregulatory cell and cytokineprofile of the tumor microenvironment to decrease the population of MDSC, decrease immunosuppressive cytokines and increase immunoregulatory cytokines thatchanges the patient’s immune response to their tumor with improved NK/DC crosstalk that causes expansion of the immune response including recruitment of theadaptive immune system with an increase in effector and cytotoxic T cells that attack the cancer. After treatment with INB03, we believe the patient’s dysregulatedimmune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can attack in combination withimmunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in animal models of an inflammatory cancer, where 3methylcholanthrese is given to mice in asubcutaneous injection that causes the development of multiple cutaneous fibrosarcoma. This model was developed by Y Akamatsu in 1967 while working at theNational Cancer Institute of the NIH. In research published by Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted insmaller and fewer cancers with increased survival. INB03 is an engineered PEGylated protein that neutralizes human soluble TNF, a human inflammatory cytokinethat is increased in patients with advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step requiredfor the proliferation of the MDSC population, and secretion of the immunosuppressive cytokines. The combination of decreased MDSC proliferation and decreasedimmunosuppressive cytokines allows the immune system to respond to the tumor. This data was published in an article entitled Inhibition of Soluble TumorNecrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research 2016. In summary, INB03functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive shield protecting the tumor,the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor.Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many types ofhematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers that should predictthat a patient will benefit from treatment with the drug. MDSC rarely exist in patients without cancer or chronic inflammation. Because MDSC can be measured in thetumor and/or blood of patients with immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation caused by their cancer, MDSC blood levels i) have prognostic value predictingcancer stage and risk of dying from cancer; ii) may be used as a biomarker to target patients who will benefit from INB03 therapy and iii) should be biomarkersdemonstrating a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03. Other biomarkers of inflammation may be useful in predicting if a patient will benefit from therapy with INB03such as increased biomarkers in blood such as elevated IL6 or Creactive protein levels or biomarkers in the tumor such as MUC4 expression of the tumor. Webelieve, if MDSC are present in significant numbers, or the tumor expresses MUC4, the patient should benefit from INB03 treatment as part of combination therapy.Basing treatment decisions on the presence of MDSC or MUC4 is a precision medicine, biomarker directed immunotherapy strategy that should improve theprobability of benefiting a patient and improve the value of INB03 therapy and decrease the risk of the clinical development process. Although, INB03 can be usedas part of combination of anticancer therapy including, but not limited to, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and/or surgery. Our Phase Iclinical trial will focus on using INB03 as monotherapy. This is a typical Phase I clinical trial design for firstinman trials in cancer. We expect to use INB03 as part ofcombination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify INB03 therapy to treat each different typeof cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancerto meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to treat patients with elevated MDSC who have lung cancer. To getsubsequent approval for the treatment of patients with renal cell cancer who have increased MDSC, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with renalcancer. Likewise, if we want to get approval of treatment of women with HER2 positive breast cancer who express MUC4, we will need to perform a trial in thosepatients and the results of that trial may be independent of MDSC levels. After the first regulatory approval, if and when achieved, we believe the difficulty and costof achieving these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval. At this time, we cannot predict if patients without biomarkers of inflammation,elevated MDSC or cytokines, or increased expression of MUC4 will benefit from treatment with INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they arenot a priority.19XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects ofsoluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain is the microglial cell. The microglial cell is one offour cells in the neural unit that also includes astrocytes, oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident macrophages of thebrain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic inflammation, activatedmicroglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction that results in synaptic pruning,nerve cell death and demyelination of neurons. These pathologies contribute, in part, to neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS,Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and schizophrenia and may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression, bipolar disease, sleep disorders, autismand PTSD. In the setting of AD, microglial activation causes dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that contributes to cognitive decline andthe behavioral manifestations of AD including depression, aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activationshould reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro1595should prevent glial activation and normalizes function of the neural unit.LivNate neutralizes soluble TNF in the treatment of NASH exactly the same way that INB03 and XPro1595 neutralize soluble TNF for the treatment ofcancer and neurodegenerative diseases respectively. NASH is a complex disease with inflammatory, metabolic and fibrotic components that contribute to diseaseprogression. The effects of LivNate on NASH are diverse. Based on murine data, we believe there are 3 major pathologic cycles that contribute to NASH. Theperipheral pathologic cycle is metabolic with obesity and insulin resistance contributing to the inflammatory and metabolic process that drives NASH. The regionalpathologic cycle includes intestinal inflammation with resulting leaky gut that drives the development mesenteric fat. All three elements contribute to a highlyinflammatory mileau delivered directly to the liver via the portal vein. The local pathologic loop includes lipotoxicity and innate immune dysfunction caused byactivated hepatic stellate cell, natural killer cells and hepatocytes. These pathologic cycles cause hepatocyte death, inflammation and fibrosis – the pathologichallmarks of NASH. In murine models of NASH, LivNate has effects on each pathologic cycle decreasing insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and leak, hepaticinflammation, hepatocyte death and fibrosis. These results must be confirmed in humans.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate, are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is asimple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect patients toadminister the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.Three step process to preparation for INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate for human clinical trials:Release of INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate drug supplyGMP INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing wascompleted in February 2018, January 2019 and December 2019. The process started in November 2017, October 2018 and November 2019 respectively. The supply ofINB03 is limited, but enough to complete the planned Phase I studies in oncology and Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II studies in oncology and NASH. The rerelease dossier has been submitted to the regulatory authorities in Australia. We received notification on May 2018 that the INB03 can be used for oncology clinicaltrials and in May 2019 that XPro1595 can be used in Alzheimer’s disease clinical trials in AUS. For future trials, new batches INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will needto be produced. We plan to use a twostep approach to production of the new drug supply. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using theexisting E.coli based system. Once the new process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign when resources are available. We expectthe existing drug supply to support clinical development program until late 2021. We have identified a vendor, KBIO to manufacture new drug product. Thecontracting process has been completed. New drug supply is expected to be available before the existing drug supply has been exhausted.20Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate DevelopmentWe have completed a Phase I trial with INB03 in onocolgy. We enrolling patients in a Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Weplan to start Phase II programs with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate in oncology and NASH respectively by the end of 2020. The Phase II program with Alzheimer’sdisease will start after completion of the ongoing Phase I program. Currently, all Phase I and Phase II trials with INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate will be performedAustralia under the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred inMarch 2018. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with INB03 in patients with advanced solid tumors on May 21, 2018. The second interactionwith the regulatory body occurred in March 2019. The Company received approval to initiate the Phase I trial with XPro1595 in patients with Alzheimer’s disease inMay 2019. We plan to initiate discussion with the regulatory authorities for the use of LivNate in NASH and for use of INB03 as part of combination therapy for thetreatment of cancer by May 2020.INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase I and Phase II Studies in patients with cancer Phase I study: We plan an open label, biomarker directed, dose escalation study in patients with metastatic epithelial cancer and elevated biomarkers ofsystemic inflammation including MDSC in their blood. As expected, the 11 patients had Stage IV cancer and had received and failed or progressed after several linesof therapy that may have included immunotherapy. Patients will receive INB03 by subcutaneous injection once a week during the duration of the study. Patientssuffered from either lung, ovarian, prostate, rental or cholangiocarcinoma, were on average 54 years old and had receive 3 previous lines of therapy. The patientstolerated INB03 with no side effects or toxicity for a median of 74 days of therapy. All patients stopped therapy due to progressive disease. The Phase I was asuccessful trial that demonstrated INB03 was safe and well tolerated, defined that the 1mg/kg once a week dose to be taken into the Phase II program, demonstratedpharmacodynamic efficacy with a decrease in IL6 levels in patients. Tests for MDSC levels were unsuccessful. Based on these results, we have defined a Phase IIclinical program in oncology.Based on the results of the Phase II study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of INB03 in combinationwith currently approved second line therapy for women with resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer. Trastuzumab alone or as the backbone for antibodyconjugated therapy is first or second line therapy for women with HER2+ breast cancer. Primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common. Women withtrastuzumab resistance do much worse than those responsive to trastuzumab immunotherapy. Prof. Schillaci first reported that MUC4 expression on the surface ofHER2+ breast cancer was the cause of trastuzumab resistance in 2017. Subsequent work has shown that combination therapy of INB03 with trastuzumab overcomestrastuzumab resistance in animal models. Soluble TNF causes expression of MUC4 by the HER2+ breast cancer cells that is responsible for trastuzumab resistance.MUC4 expression in HER2+ breast cancer cells is also a biomarker for an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with high levels of myeloid cells and fewlymphocytes; the hallmark of an immune dessert. Treatment with INB03 decreases myeloid cells, most likely MDSC and TAMs while increasing the lymphocyteinfiltrate to make the “cold” tumor “hot”. The Phase II will be an open label trial where patients receive combination therapy with both INB03 and Drug X in womenwith metastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Drug X is an approved drug that is used as second line therapy in women with HER2+ breast cancer thatalso crosses the BBB. Because IP is not yet filled, we have not publicly disclosed what Drug X is. The Phase II trial will be an open label trial in women withmetastatic HER2+ breast cancer with brain metastasis. Patients will be treated with combination therapy until progression of disease. Almost one third of womenwith HER2+ metastatic breast cancer develop brain metastasis. Currently, therapy are no therapies approved for and survival is short. The Phase II trial will beperformed in Australia using the Clinical Trial Notification (“CTN”) regulatory process that is administered by the TGA. If results are promising, we may open PhaseII clinical trial sites in the US under the regulatory authority of the FDA. Because of the number of women affected and the lack of approved therapy, we believe thisindication will qualify for orphan drug designation and may be eligible for FDA Fast Track or Breakthrough designation.21INB03 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation.We believe that this strategy has use across many types of solid tumors including patients who have failed CPI with elevated MDSC blood, gastric cancer patientswith HER2+ tumors and other gastrointestinal malignancies that express MUC4. We plan to pursue other indications in cancer as resources become available. Wehave an active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are twopartnering opportunities with this novel innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for alloncology applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing INB03 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy, mostprobably an approved CPI. For example, CTLA4 targeted checkpoint inhibitors do not work well when given to melanoma patients with increased MDSC in theirblood. A company with a CPI may want to combine INB03 with their product in a clinical development program. After completion of proofofconcept Phase IIstudies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with INB03.Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer but used incombination with, but not limited to, other cancer therapies including cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation and surgery. We believe that INB03 canalso be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.INB03, XPro1595 and LivNate Regulatory StrategyINB03 is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by welldesigned clinical trials that show a meaningfulclinical benefit to patients. This means that registration trials will need to be randomized trials in patients with cancer. The Phase I was designed as an open labeldose escalation trial in patients with metastatic solid tumors. With the Phase I trial completed, we plan to design clinical trials that inform product approvalstrategies; that is, proofofconcept Phase II trials in a narrowly defined group of patients with a single type of cancer. These trials will be designed after seekingadvice from the competent regulatory authorities and clinical thought leaders to allow the Company to design clinical trials that meet the needs for registration. Boththe Phase I and proofofconcept Phase II trial will be performed in Australia using the CTN system under the authority of the Therapeutic Goods Administration(“TGA”). The Phase II trial is currently planned as a single arm open label combination therapy trial in women with brain metastasis from HER2+ breast cancer. Thepatients will receive INB03 in combination with an approved second line therapy for this disease – a combination that is shown to be highly effective in animalstudies. Patients will be followed until progression using a composite endpoint that includes both radiographic and medical endpoints. We will meet with the FDAafter during the POC Phase II trial. We may to expand the Phase II trial to the US under the authority of the FDA. Studies will be expanded to Europe and beyond asresources permit. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 approved in any market and no therapies approved for the treatment of brain metastasis in womenfrom HER2+ breast cancer, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high unmet need. In theU.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs for approval including Accelerated Approval, Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast TrackDesignation, and priority review (see “Government Regulation”). We cannot predict which, if any, of these programs we will benefit from without further discussionswith the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials in the United States and Australia.Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s DiseaseXPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. XPro1595 is identical to INB03 and LivNate in every way but name. The nameXPro1595 will be used as the drug name in the Alzheimer’s disease development program. Microglial activation and neuroinflammation are important causes of thesynaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β amyloidplaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting plaques and tanglesis not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the final common pathway of synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death is. Substantialdirect preclinical data supports the use of XPro1595 in murine models of AD. Substantial indirect data supports use of XPro1595 in humans including a decreasedrisk of AD in patients treated with nonselective TNF inhibitors for rheumatoid arthritis and treatment using direct injection into paraspinous venous plexus.Because of different mechanism of action of XPro1595 compared to the nonselective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression anddemyelinating diseases such as MS.22We are planning an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic disease. Patients with dementia whohave the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hsCRP>1.5 mg/L, a ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4positive will be treated with XPro1595 for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts are planned – 0.3, 1.0 and 3 mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients will have 5groups of inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers will be tested in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, white matter freewater will be determined by MRI and a “breath test” measuring exhaled volatile organ compounds will be used to determine a signature of inflammation in ADpatients. Finally, behavioral biomarkers of fatigue, depression aggression, anhedonia and sleep disorders, behaviors that are very sensitive to neuroinflammation,will be cataloged using validated scales to determine if these behaviors improve as neuroinflammation is brought under control. The first patient was enrolled in thelow dose 0.3mg/kg/week cohort in the last week of November 2019. The Safety Review Committee met by teleconference on January 7, 2020 to review the course ofthe patients in the first cohort and voted to open the second cohort, 1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week ofFebruary 2020. We will be testing traditional measures of AD in blood, CSF and cognition, but we do not expect significant changes in a 12week trial. If AD patientstreated with XPro1595 tolerate the therapy well, and show improvement in biomarkers of neuroinflammation, the company may decide to pursue a larger, longer, fullypowered randomized Phase II trial to determine if prolonged treatment of neuroinflammation results in less cognitive decline in patients treated with XPro1595.Funding for the Phase I trial is provided by a combination of the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association and company funding including rebatesfrom the AUS R&D rebate scheme. If the Phase I is successful, additional funds will be needed to support execution of the Phase II trial and to produce additionalXPro1595 to support the clinical programs.XPro1595 Registration Studies and/or PartneringWe plan to aggressively pursue an efficient registration strategy using XPro1595 to improve the lives of patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation.We believe AD is not the only indication for XPro1595 in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan to pursue other indications inneurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have an active partnering position as it relates to XPro1595 development in neurodegenerative andneuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities with this novel immunotherapy forthe treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing the drug for all neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric applications. The second is a more focused partnership developing XPro1595 as part of a combination therapy for a company’s existing therapy.After completion of proofofconcept Phase II studies, we will decide what the most efficient registration strategy is available to the company with XPro1595. Wemay to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to be acquired at this stage.ParttheCloud AwardThe Company was awarded a $1,000,000 grant, to be paid in tranches (the “PTC Award”) from the Alzheimer’s Association in connection with theAlzheimer’s Association’s Part the Cloud initiative, to advance XPro1595, and received an award letter from the Alzheimer’s Association on February 22, 2019detailing the conditions pertaining to the PTC Award (the “Award Letter”). Pursuant to the Award Letter, the total amount of the PTC Award is $1,000,000 and biannual payments were aligned with the following milestones outlined in the Award Letter: (i) $600,000 on June 15, 2019 upon regulatory approval for opening clinicaltrial and enrollment of first patient; (ii) if (i) is met, then $250,000 for the next segment (June 15, 2019 – December 15, 2019) if all patients enrolled in first cohort havereached onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the second cohort and (iii) if (ii) is met, then $150,000 for the next segment (December 15, 2019 –June 15, 2020) if all patients enrolled in the second cohort have reached the onemonth milestone and enrollment of the first patient in the third cohort. Pursuant tothe PTC Award, the Company received $600,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association during March 2019 and $250,000 from the Alzheimer’s Association duringNovember 2019 and recorded these amounts as contra research and development expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the yearending December 31, 2019 in accordance with our accounting policy.23Immunotherapy for the treatment of NASHLivNate is being developed for the treatment of NASH. LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595 in every way but name. The name LivNate will be usedas the drug name in the NASH development program. NASH is a pleiotropic disease with elements of metabolic, immunologic and fibrotic pathophysiologycontributing to disease development and progression. The Company believes targeting the metabolic and immunologic pathology is the best way to treat NASH.Furthermore, we believe there are three pathologic drivers of NASH, two which originate beyond the liver (refer to Figure 7 below). The peripheral pathologic loopincludes obesity and insulin resistance. The regional pathologic loop includes intestinal inflammation, interstinal leak and mesenteric fat, a source of inflammatoryfactors that are concentrated in portal blood. Finally, the local pathologic loop is caused by lipotoxicity and innate immune activation in the liver that results inhepatocyte death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the hallmarks of NASH. In murine studies of NASH, LivNate reverses insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation anddecreases the NAS (“NAFLD Activity Score”) and Fibrosis score suggesting that LivNate may be an effective therapy for the treatment of NASH.We are planning an open label Phase II study of patients with NASH. The study is planned as a proofofconcept study in patients with F3/F3 diseasedefined by noninvasive laboratory and imaging studies. Patients will be treated with LivNate for 6 months by once a week subcutaneous injection. We do not planto perform liver biopsies as any part of the study. If the study is positive, further development of LivNate in NASH will be considered. Further development mayinclude additional clinical trials alone or with a partner or divesting the program.LivNate Registration Studies and/or Partnering ProgramsBecause NASH is an exceptionally dynamic area of drug development, the Company will decide on a development and/or partnering program after thecompletion of the Phase II study. At this time, it is impossible to predict the development and commercial landscape or to know if LivNate can be used to treat NASHas a standalone drug or as part of combination therapy. Finally, the market for treatments of metabolic and inflammatory liver diseases may expand to include nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) in the near future. This market expansion may impact the Company’s development plans for LivNate.Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy ProductsGovernment RegulationThe FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, approval, labeling,manufacture, marketing and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing,approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our product candidates. The regulatoryapproval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirementsmay result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a productfrom the market.Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in the United States under theFDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the UnitedStates generally involves the following:●completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GoodLaboratory Practice regulations;●submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug application, or IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;●for some products, performance of adequate and wellcontrolled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good ClinicalPractices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;●submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;●satisfactory completion of an FDA preapproval inspection of the manufacturing facilities at which the product is produced to assess compliance withcurrent Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and●FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.24The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our productcandidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and otheranimal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Somepreclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’sbrochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30day time period, raises concerns or questionsrelating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolveany outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safetyconcerns or noncompliance with regulatory requirements. An independent institutional review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conductthe clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks toindividuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trialparticipants and must monitor the study until completed.The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications on which weare focusing our efforts. These include accelerated approval under Subpart H of the agency’s NDA approval regulations, fast track drug development proceduresand priority review.We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. The United States, European Union and other jurisdictionsmay grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the United States, is generally a disease or condition thataffects no more than 200,000 individuals. In the European Union, orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitatingand affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European Union; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify thenecessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affectedby the condition. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has suchdesignation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market thesame drug for the same indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drugdesignation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphandrug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potentialorphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the review and approval process.However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03, although the preciseindication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.25Clinical TrialsPhase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the productcandidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific, targetedindications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.Phase 3 clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersedclinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease, but sometimes caninclude several thousand patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to establish the overall riskbenefit ratio of the product candidate and provide an adequatebasis for product labeling.Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate to human subjects under the supervision of qualified medical investigators according toapproved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitorparticipant safety. Regulatory procedures differ in each country we will be working in., For example, in the US, each protocol is submitted, to the FDA as part of theIND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform clinical trials. Most countries have systems inplace to allow academics and companies to sponsor clinical trials of novel therapies in patients. For financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform thePhase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada,Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development program in the future. The first clinical trial with INKmune will be initiated in the UnitedKingdom. In the United Kingdom, the regulatory submission is made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. TheCompany had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovariancancer including trial design, manufacturing processes and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls andthe regulatory procedures needed to initiate the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18,2018. The approval allows for the execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patientsneeded for the Phase I portion of the trial. The patients will be treated at the Phase I unit a university hospital. We expect all of the Phase I sites to be in London,United Kingdom. If the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to open the Phase II portion of the trial in early 2020. The Phase II trial will include at least 3other clinical sites in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Because 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II portion of the trial,we expect to need sites in both the US and United Kingdom. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at this time. Noadditional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with the FDA. Once the FDAapproves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1 study for INKmune for a number ofreasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our preclinical data suggests INKmune may have advantages over other immunotherapies inthe treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accuratelyselect patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. We believe that intraperitoneal delivery of INKmune is a lowrisk delivery strategyfor a phase 1 study. The patients we plan to enroll in the trial have their disease concentrated in the peritoneal cavity further supporting the use of intraperitonealdelivery. Finally, relapsed refractory ovarian cancer is an Orphan indication in the US. This provides regulatory advantages for registration of INKmune. INB03 willfollow a similar development strategy, but will use Australia for the Phase I programs. In Australia, clinical trials for INB03 are performed under the clinical trialsnotification (“CTN”) scheme authorized by the Therapeutic Good Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRAin the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro1595 during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively.Applications were accepted in May 2018 and 2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed theoncology Phase 1 open label dose escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.26The Phase I trial has been completed and provided evidence of safety and a pharmacodynamic drug affect, decrease of inflammatory biomarkers, needed to move theprogram to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial that will combine INB03 with approved second line therapy in patients with brain metastasis inwomen with Her2+ breast cancer. This is a combination trial where the addition of INB03 to approved second line therapy may provide a therapeutic alternative in adisease without any drugs approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with CPI, but competition for patients is fierce in this arena. Our plan isto pursue treatment of tumors that express MUC4 as our lead indication. Tumors that express MUC4 are resistant to all forms of immunotherapy due to acombination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decreased inflammation in the tumor (a “cold” tumor) and direct effects of MUC4 and soluble TNF on HER2 function.If combination therapy with INB03 decreases MUC4 expression and changes the TME to make the “cold” tumor “hot”, then addition of a CPI will be warranted.Checkpoint inhibitors are immunotherapy drugs that target proteins in the tumor and immune cells to improve the adaptive immune response to the tumor byreversing immunologic strategies the cancer uses to evade the immune system. These drugs target PD1, PDL1 or CTLA4. As of April 2018, there are six checkpointinhibitors approved in the US (Ipilimumab, Atezolizumab, Avelumab, Durvalumab, Pembrolizumab, and Nivolumab). Additional checkpoint inhibitors to new andexisting targets are in development and will be approved in the coming years. Checkpoint inhibitors are having a significant impact on the treatment of cancer andare expected to be the largest selling class of cancer therapies by 2027. INB03 can impact the cancer market for CPI in two ways; i) increase the number of patientseligible for CPI by making “cold” tumors “hot” and ii) reverse resistance to CPI due to immunologic factors in the TME such as increased MDSC. Currently, only 2530% of patients treated with currently approved checkpoint inhibitors respond to therapy and many of these become refractory after a period of treatment. Thismeans at least 70% of patients are resistant to, or refractory to, checkpoint inhibitors. Experts agree that combination therapy is needed and necessary to improvethe response to checkpoint inhibitor therapy in resistant and refractory patients. To that end, companies with approved checkpoint inhibitors are looking forcompanion drugs improve patient response and expand market opportunities. The INB03 development program in cancer is designed to take advantage of our preclinical data and the needs to the cancer community to improve the safety and efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. At this time, the combination trial to treattrastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our lead registration strategy for INB03. Current therapies for trastuzumab resistant cancers are used on a trial byerror approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario.Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to “hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI.Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant therapies is chaotic. The design and successful completion of aPhase II trial is not guarantee of clinical relevance or commercial viability. There are multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment oftrastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent of antibody conjugates including adotrastuzumab emtansine (Kadycycla/TDM1, Genentech/Roche) andtrastuzumab deruxtecan (Enhertu, Daiichi Sankyo). To our knowledge, there are no drugs approved for the treatment of patients with HER2+ brain metastasis. CPI arenot active in HER2+ cancers but there is considerable interest in attempting to modify the TME to allow effective use of CPI in patients with advanced disease.Checkpoint inhibitor companies announced large partnering deal with companies producing checkpoint inhibitor potentiators – BMS/Nektar; BMS/IFM andMerck/Incyte. Experts agree that partnering in this arena will continue. The registration and development strategy for INB03 is multinational. The Phase II programmay enroll patients in other countries, including the United States after submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisionsneeded with moving the drug to commercialization. Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncologyapplication for INB03. INB03 can be combined with other immuneoncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combinationtherapy with immunooncology drugs, paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. Thecompany is pursuing preclinical data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There areother regulatory venues that will be important for both our products – the largest and most important is Europe. In Europe, the European Medicines Agencies(“EMA”) is responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same timeas EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03. XPro1595 and LivNate will occur in AUS followed by trials in the US. The development of INKmune willoccur primarily in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro1595 is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease under a ParttheCloudAward received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial will be performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to that used for INB03 in cancer.Regulatory approval to initiate the trial was received on February 8, 2019. The clinical trial will be performed at five sites in AUS. XPro1595 treats microglial activationand innate immune dysregulation may be the cause with Alzheimer’s disease in some patients. To our knowledge, there are few companies using an antiinflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that targetscritical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is developing AL002that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate GC021109. LivNate is beingdeveloped for the treatment of NASH. The Phase II trial will occur in AUS and NZ, is expected to require fewer than 5 clinical sites to complete enrollment. LivNateoffers a unique therapeutic strategy for the treatment of NASH by targeting peripheral, regional and local cycles of pathology that contribute to the developmentand progression of the disease. There are many drugs in development for NASH classified in three groups – antifibrotic, metabolic and antiinflammatory therapies.Drug development for the treatment of NASH has been difficult. In 2019, several programs failed in late stage development including seldapar (CYMABAY) andselonsertib (GILEAD). Currently, ocaliva by Intercept is expected to be the first drug to receive FDA approval for the treatment of NASH with by elafibranor byGENFIT is expected to be second. The list of companies with NASH therapies in earlier stages of development is long, including cenicriviroc by ALLERGAN, MGL3196 by MADRIGAL, VK2809 by VIKING Therapeutics and belapectin by GALECTIN. To our knowledge, the only true antiinflammatory strategy in development isan antiIL11 being developed by Boheringer Ingelheim most likely as part of combination therapy.27Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to the FDA andsafety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success in later stage clinicaltrials. The FDA, an IRB or we may suspend a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are beingexposed to an unacceptable health risk.New Drug ApplicationsAssuming successful completion of the required clinical trials, the results of product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials are submitted to theFDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished product. An NDA applicantmust develop information about the chemistry and physical characteristics of the drug and finalize a process for manufacturing the product in accordance withcGMP. The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality product within specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer mustdevelop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested and stability studiesmust be conducted to demonstrate that the product does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct aninspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP.The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA for filing. Inthis event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an application is filed, theFDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under whatconditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when making decisions. The FDA may denyapproval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive and the FDA may interpret datadifferently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which may require additional clinical or other data or impose otherconditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited tospecific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDAmay require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and mayrequire surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval ifongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.28PostApproval RequirementsAny products manufactured or distributed by us pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, including,among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising and promotion of theproduct. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject to prior FDA review andapproval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which such products are manufactured, aswell as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register theirestablishments with the FDA and certain state agencies, and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliancewith GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us and our thirdparty manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process arestrictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may require prior FDA approval before being implemented. FDA regulations also requireinvestigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP and impose reporting requirements upon us and any thirdparty manufacturers that we may decide to use.Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP andother aspects of regulatory compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinicaltrials, require us to recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reachesthe market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturingprocesses, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information; imposition of postmarket studies or clinical studies to assess new safety risks; or imposition of distribution restrictions or other restrictions under a REMS program.The FDA closely regulates the marketing, labeling, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. A company can make only those claims relatingto safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The FDA and other agenciesactively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of offlabel uses. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in, among other things,adverse publicity, warning letters, corrective advertising and potential civil and criminal penalties. Physicians may prescribe legally available products for uses thatare not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the FDA. Such offlabel uses are common across medicalspecialties. Physicians may believe that such offlabel uses are the best treatment for many patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate thebehavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict manufacturer’s communications on the subject of offlabel use of theirproducts.Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance RequirementsOur sales, promotion, medical education, clinical research and other activities following product approval will be subject to regulation by numerousregulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice,the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and state and local governments.Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal AntiKickback Statute, the civil False Claims Act, physician paymenttransparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.The federal AntiKickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment ofremuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would be paid for inwhole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of value, including cash,improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal AntiKickback Statute has been interpreted to apply to arrangements betweenpharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other. Although there are a number ofstatutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly. Practicesthat involve remuneration that may be alleged to be intended to induce prescribing, purchases or recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualifyfor an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make theconduct per se illegal under the federal AntiKickback Statute. Instead, the legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a casebycase basis based on acumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of anarrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered business, the federal AntiKickback Statute has been violated. Thegovernment has enforced the federal AntiKickback Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and otherfinancial arrangements with physicians. Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to havecommitted a violation. In addition, the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal AntiKickback Statuteconstitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well asprivate payors.29Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that, among otherthings, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by a federal health careprogram. The FCA has been used to prosecute persons or entities that “cause” the submission of claims for payment that are inaccurate or fraudulent, by, forexample, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product offlabel, submitting claims for services not provided as claimed, orsubmitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be brought by the Attorney General or as a qui tamaction by a private individual in the name of the government. Violations of the FCA can result in significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federalgovernment is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnologycompanies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other illegal sales and marketing practices.The government has obtained multimillion and multibillion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminalstatutes. In addition, certain companies that were found to be in violation of the FCA have been forced to implement extensive corrective action plans, and haveoften become subject to consent decrees or corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, created additional federal criminal statutes that prohibit, among otherthings, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private thirdparty payors;knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement in connection with thedelivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a healthcare offense. Like the federal AntiKickback Statute, the Affordable Care Act amended the intent standard for certain healthcare fraud statutes under HIPAA such that a person or entity no longerneeds to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it in order to have committed a violation.Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, we expect that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigatinghealthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse statutes or regulationsthat may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs.Additionally, to the extent that our products, once commercialized, are sold in a foreign country, we may be subject to similar foreign laws.In addition, there has been a recent trend of increased federal and state regulation of payments made to physicians and other healthcare providers. ThePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, among otherthings, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies for which payment is available underMedicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, with specific exceptions, for payments or other transfers of value made by them to physicians andteaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required tocollect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000 per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), forall payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that are not timely, accurately and completely reported in an annual submission. Additionally,entities that do not comply with mandatory reporting requirements may be subject to a corporate integrity agreement. Certain states also mandate implementation ofcommercial compliance programs, impose restrictions on covered manufacturers’ marketing practices and/or require the tracking and reporting of gifts, compensationand other remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.30We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business. HIPAA,as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes specifiedrequirements on certain health care providers, plans and clearinghouses (collectively, “covered entities”) and their “business associates,” relating to the privacy,security and transmission of individually identifiable health information. Among other things, HITECH makes HIPAA’s security standards directly applicable to“business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information inconnection with providing a service for or on behalf of a covered entity. HITECH also increased the civil and criminal penalties that may be imposed against coveredentities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federalcourts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws thatgovern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances, many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may nothave the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.Coverage and ReimbursementSales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by thirdparty payors.Thirdparty payors include state and federal government health care programs, managed care providers, private health insurers and other organizations. Althoughwe currently believe that thirdparty payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we cannot be certain of this. Thirdparty payors are increasingly challenging the price, examining the costeffectiveness, and reducing reimbursement for medical products and services. In addition,significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S. government, state legislatures and foreigngovernments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on coverage and reimbursement and requirements forsubstitution of generic products. Adoption of price controls and cost containment measures, and adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existingcontrols and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative costeffectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not be considered costeffective and thus may not be covered or sufficientlyreimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and reimbursement from thirdparty payors, as each payor will make its own determination asto whether to cover a product and at what level of reimbursement. Thus, one payor’s decision to provide coverage and adequate reimbursement for a product doesnot assure that another payor will provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drugproduct does not imply that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on acompetitive and profitable basis.Healthcare ReformThe United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell our products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there issignificant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/or expanding access. Inthe United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected by major legislative initiatives.31By way of example, in March 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, intended to broaden access to health insurance, reduce or constrain thegrowth of healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add new transparency requirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries,impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the Affordable Care Act of importance toour potential drug candidates are:●an annual, nondeductible fee on any entity that manufactures or imports specified branded prescription drugs and biologic agents, apportioned amongthese entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;●an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the averagemanufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;●a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are inhaled,infused, instilled, implanted or injected;●a new Medicare Part D coverage gap discount program, in which manufacturers must agree to offer 50% pointofsale discounts off negotiated pricesof applicable brand drugs to eligible beneficiaries during their coverage gap period, as a condition for a manufacturer’s outpatient drugs to be coveredunder Medicare Part D;●extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed careorganizations;●expansion of eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs by, among other things, allowing states to offer Medicaid coverage to additional individuals andby adding new mandatory eligibility categories for certain individuals with income at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, thereby potentiallyincreasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;●expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and●a new PatientCentered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, alongwith funding for such research.In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted. These changes include, among others,the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates aggregate reductions to Medicare payments to providers of up to 2% per fiscal year effective April 1, 2013, and,due to subsequent legislative amendments, will remain in effect through 2024 unless additional Congressional action is taken. In January 2013, President Obamasigned into law the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which, among other things, further reduced Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitalsand cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government to recover overpayments to providers from three to five years. Thesenew laws may result in additional reductions in Medicare and other healthcare funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our productcandidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.We expect that the Affordable Care Act, as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorouscoverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any reduction inreimbursement from Medicare or other governmentfunded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The implementation of costcontainment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to generate revenue, attain profitability or commercialize our drugs.EmployeesAs of March 3, 2020, we have four fulltime employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We do not haveany parttime employees. Corporate InformationWe were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015. Our principal executive office is located at 1200 Prospect Street, Suite525, La Jolla, CA 92037 and our telephone number is (858) 9643720.32Item 1a. Risk FactorsYou should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in thesection of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business,financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose allor part of your investment.RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESSWe have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues to date.To date, we have no approved products on the market and have generated no product revenues. Until, and unless, we receive approval from the FDA andother regulatory authorities for our product candidates, we cannot sell our products and will not have product revenues. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, wewill have to fund all of our operations and capital expenditures from the net proceeds of the offering, cash on hand, licensing fees and grants and additionalfinancings, to the extent such financings can be obtained.We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and timeconsuming research, preclinicaland clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for at least thenext twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead product candidates. Wemay, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available resources more rapidly than weanticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:●successful commercialization of our product candidates;●the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;●costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;●development of marketing and sales capabilities;●payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and●market acceptance of our products, if any.To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. Inaddition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on suchindebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of oreliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to obtain fundsthrough arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or products that we wouldotherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms that are less favorable to us thanmight otherwise be available.The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studiesand clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If wedo not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product candidates from theFDA and other regulatory authorities. In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development, forego sales and marketing efforts and forego attractivebusiness opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities, which will have a dilutive effect on ourstockholders.33There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Losses have principally occurred as a result of noncash stockbasedcompensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s product candidates which included the general andadministrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as the Company’sproducts are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months from the issuancedate of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability andclassification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management intends to pursueadditional funding and implement its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however, there cannot be anyassurance that we will be successful in doing so. The opinion of our independent registered public accounts on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the additional funds needed to fund our business plan. If we are not able to raise sufficientcapital in the near future, our continued operations will be in jeopardy and we may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially allof our remaining assets.We face intense competition in the markets targeted by our lead product candidates. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do,and we expect that all of our product candidates under development will face intense competition from existing or future drugs.We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by largecompanies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop products earlierthan we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our productcandidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of nonpatent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its newlyapproved drug product. Periods of nonpatent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up to three and onehalf years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which wouldbe costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we arepursuing and that have greater financial and other resources. Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than us, obtaining FDA approval forproducts more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others may render our technologyor product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We face competition from companies thatinternally develop competing technology or acquire competing technology from universities and other research institutions. As these companies develop theirtechnologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product commercialization efforts, which would result in a decreasein the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.34There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products aresuccessfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept our product(s)as a treatment of choice.Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith arenumerous and significant. The effects of competition, intellectual property disputes, market acceptance, and FDA regulations preclude us from forecasting revenuesor income with certainty or even confidence.If we fail to protect our intellectual property rights, our ability to pursue the development of our technologies and products would be negatively affected.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and maintain adequate protection of our technologies and products. If we do notadequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us and erodeour competitive advantage. Some foreign countries lack rules and methods for defending intellectual property rights and do not protect proprietary rights to thesame extent as the United States. Many companies have had difficulty protecting their proprietary rights in these foreign countries. We may not be able to preventmisappropriation of our proprietary rights.We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process issubject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in protecting our products by obtaining and defendingpatents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: patents that may be issued or licensed may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, or otherwisemay not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and many of which have made significantinvestments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sellour potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant pressure on the United States government and otherinternational governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for treatments that prove successful as a matterof public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; countries other than the United States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by UnitedStates courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to create, develop, and market competing products.Moreover, any patents issued to us may not provide us with meaningful protection, or others may challenge, circumvent or narrow our patents. Thirdparties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we develop.Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term due to regulatorydelays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with an extension, may expire orremain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) and patent offices in other jurisdictions have often required that patentapplications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnologyrelated inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovationsexemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to obtainpatents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We maynot be aware, however, of all patents, published applications or published literature that may affect our business either by blocking our ability to commercialize ourproduct candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar technologies that mayinvalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.35In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures toprotect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they do notadequately protect our rights, third parties could use our technology, and we could lose any competitive advantage we may have. In addition, others mayindependently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any competitive advantage wemay have.Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that suchprotections will prove inadequate.We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such licenses, ourcompetitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to thirdparty intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we aredependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensorsto obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain intellectual propertyto which we have licenses, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing such intellectual property, or may pursue suchlitigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer similar products forsale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any of our right to use thirdparty intellectualproperty, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as harm our competitive business position and ourbusiness prospects.We are dependent on our licensing agreement with Xencor and the termination of this agreement could a have an adverse effect on our business.On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement with Xencor, Inc., which has discovered and developed a proprietary biological moleculethat inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royaltybearing license inlicensed patent rights, licensed knowhow and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, orincorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro1595” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor (or all modifications, formulations and variants of thelicensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If webreach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business could be negatively impacted.Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our principal patent from.On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC, the owner of all the rights related to our principal patent.The license agreement relates to our natural killer program, INKmue. Immune Ventures is owned by our President and a member of our Board of Directors, DavidMoss, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures theremay be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.We are an early stage company formed in September 2015 and have only a limited operating history. Therefore, there is limited historical financialinformation upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and difficultiesfrequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years asour research, development, and commercial activities increase. The amount of future losses and when, if ever, we will achieve profitability are uncertain. Our abilityto generate revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of the preclinical and clinical development of our productcandidate; obtaining necessary regulatory approvals from the FDA and international regulatory agencies; implementing successful manufacturing, sales, andmarketing arrangements; and raising sufficient funds to finance our activities. If we are unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects,and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.36INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:●Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;●Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;●Obtaining regulatory approval, as the FDA and other regulatory authorities have limited experience with commercial development of immunotherapiesfor cancer; and●Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.Even if we are able to commercialize any product candidate that we develop, the product may become subject to unfavorable pricing regulations, thirdpartypayor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.The commercial success of our product candidates will depend substantially, both domestically and abroad, on the extent to which the costs of our productcandidates will be paid by health maintenance, managed care, pharmacy benefit and similar healthcare management organizations, or reimbursed by governmenthealth administration authorities (such as Medicare and Medicaid), private health coverage insurers and other thirdparty payors. If reimbursement is not available,or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Even if coverage is provided, the approvedreimbursement amount may not be high enough to allow us to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment.There is significant uncertainty related to thirdparty payor coverage and reimbursement of newly approved drugs. Marketing approvals, pricing andreimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be marketed. Inmany countries, the pricing review period begins after marketing or product licensing approval is granted. In some nonU.S. markets, prescription pharmaceuticalpricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain marketing approval for a product in aparticular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for lengthy time periods, which may negativelyimpact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investmentin one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rightsof third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The patentpositions of biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Thus, therecan be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary products that are patentable, thatany patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties, that the patents of others will not impedeour ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not independentlydevelop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are issued to us, design around the patented products wedeveloped or will develop.37We may be required to obtain licenses from third parties to avoid infringing patents or other proprietary rights. No assurance can be given that any licensesrequired under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such licenses, we couldencounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited.A number of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research and academic institutions have developed technologies, filedpatent applications or received patents on various technologies that may be related to or affect our business. Some of these technologies, applications or patentsmay conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be able to obtain or result in thedenial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be no assurance that we would be able toobtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we do not obtain such licenses, we could encounterdelays in the introduction of products, or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition,we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patentsdeclared invalid.Much of our knowhow and technology may not be patentable. To protect our rights, we plan to require employees, consultants, advisors andcollaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our tradesecrets, knowhow or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely affected bycompetitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.We are subject to various government regulations.The manufacture and sale of human therapeutic products in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions are governed by a variety of statutes and regulations. Theselaws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission containingmanufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for each use sought,including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and labeling.The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior toits commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and timeconsuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop successfullythis product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicableregulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties which we may encounter in viewof the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop andmarket currently exist or are being developed. Competition from fully integrated pharmaceutical companies and more established biotechnology companies is intenseand is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and development, manufacturing,preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularlythrough collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. Many of these competitors havesignificant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s UK subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred, and recorded a relatedreceivable in the amount of $395,850 and $370,900 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018,the Company received $443,929 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred. At December 31,2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $172,289 and $221,761, respectively, for R&D expenses incurred inAustralia. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $410,857 and $0 of R&D tax credit reimbursements, respectively fromAustralia.The Company is eligible to recover all VAT for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s UK subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $42,046 and $6,282 for VAT asof December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $214,388 and $187,728 of VATreimbursements, respectively.The Company is eligible to recover all GST for all R&D expenses paid. The Company’s Australian subsidiary recorded other tax receivable of $35,179 and $26,127 forGST as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company received $61,794 and $0 of GSTreimbursements, respectively.F9significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, wellfunded discovery and development programs. Academic institutions,governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research, seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangementsfor therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualifiedscientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face competition based on product efficacy and safety, the timing and scope ofregulatory approvals, availability of supply, marketing and sales capability, reimbursement coverage, price and patent position. There is no assurance that ourcompetitors will not develop more effective or more affordable products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.38Other companies may succeed in developing products earlier than ourselves, obtaining FDA and European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) approvals forsuch products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to expand ourtechnological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render our technology orproducts obsolete or noncompetitive or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop, or that any therapy we develop will be preferred to anyexisting or newly developed technologies.We may request priority review for our product candidate in the future. The FDA may not grant priority review for our product candidate. Moreover, even if theFDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval process and, in any event, would notassure FDA approval.We may be eligible for priority review designation for our product candidate if the FDA determines such product candidate offers major advances intreatment or provides a treatment where no adequate therapy exists. A priority review designation means that the goal for the FDA to review an application in sixmonths, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant priority review status to aproduct candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may decide not to grant it. Thus, while theFDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to seek priority review, may not receive similardesignation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory reviewprocess or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does notguarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.We believe we may in some instances be able to secure approval from the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities to use accelerated developmentpathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials beyond those that wecontemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing approvals.We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the FederalFood, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the FDA may grant accelerated approval to a product designed to treat a seriousor lifethreatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product has an effect on a surrogateendpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical benefit to be a positive therapeutic effectthat is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the purposes of accelerated approval, a surrogateendpoint is a marker, such as a laboratory measurement, radiographic image, physical sign, or other measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itselfa measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortalitythat is reasonably likely to predict an effect on irreversible morbidity or mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases inwhich the advantage of a new drug over available therapy may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient andpublic health perspective. If granted, accelerated approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional postapproval confirmatory studies to verify and describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such postapproval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA maywithdraw its approval of the drug.39Prior to seeking such accelerated approval, we will seek feedback from the FDA and will otherwise evaluate our ability to seek and receive such acceleratedapproval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New Drug Application, or NDA,for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance that after subsequent FDA feedbackwe will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval, even if we initially decide to do so.Furthermore, if we decide to submit an application for accelerated approval or under another expedited regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapydesignation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that any expedited development, review or approval will be grantedon a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other nonU.S. authorities could also require us to conduct further studies prior to considering our application or grantingapproval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would resultin a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate, could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm ourcompetitive position in the marketplace.Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience delays incompleting, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk offailure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive regulatoryapproval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical development and thenconduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design andimplement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. The clinicaldevelopment of our product candidates is susceptible to the risk of failure inherent at any stage of drug development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in aclinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply withprotocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any comparable nonU.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe oreffective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate has a beneficial effect, that effect will not be detected during clinical evaluation as aresult of one or more of a variety of factors, including the size, duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result ofthe same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, inour clinical trials we may fail to detect toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic ornot well tolerated when that is not in fact the case.The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial donot necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in latestage clinicaltrials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may notbecome apparent until the clinical trial is well advanced or completed. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations andanalyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtainmarketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate warrant marketing approval, the FDA orcomparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product candidate.In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due tonumerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and adherenceto the clinical trial protocols and the rate of dropout among clinical trial participants. Any clinical trials that we may conduct may not demonstrate the efficacy andsafety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA and comparable nonU.S. regulators, we mayincur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our productcandidates.We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from theFDA. Comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities, such as the EMA, impose similar restrictions. We may never receive such approvals. We must complete extensivepreclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be able to obtain theseapprovals.40Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have notpreviously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenuesfrom product sales, regulatory and commercialization milestones and royalties. In addition, if (1) we are required to conduct additional clinical trials or other testingof our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our product candidate orother testing, (3) the results of these trials or tests are unfavorable, uncertain or are only modestly favorable, or (4) there are unacceptable safety concernsassociated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:●be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;●not obtain marketing approval at all;●obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;●obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;●be subject to additional postmarketing testing or other requirements; or●be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential marketingapproval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent marketing approval of any of ourproduct candidates, including:●clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;●we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;●the number of patients required for clinical trials of our product candidate may be larger than we anticipate, patient enrollment in these clinical trialsmay be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;●data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about patientsafety;●regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, includingnoncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;●patients with serious, lifethreatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that may not berelated to our product candidate;●participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;●patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;41●changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;●our thirdparty contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical trials onour behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;●regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;●we may experience delays in reaching or fail to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial contracts or clinical trial protocols with prospective trialsites;●patients who enroll in a clinical trial may misrepresent their eligibility to do so or may otherwise not comply with the clinical trial protocol, resulting inthe need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical trial’s duration;●we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are beingexposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical studiesand clinical trials;●the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or facilities ofthirdparty manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;●the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our productcandidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and●the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable nonU.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering ourclinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.Product development costs for us will increase if we experience delays in testing or pursuing marketing approvals and we may be required to obtainadditional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical tests orclinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial delays also couldshorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to bring products to marketbefore we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. In addition, many ofthe factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our product candidates.If we experience delays or difficulties in the enrollment of patients in clinical trials, we may not achieve our clinical development on our anticipated timeline,or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune or any other product candidate if we are unable to locate and enroll a sufficientnumber of eligible patients to participate in clinical trials. Patient enrollment is a significant factor in the timing of clinical trials, and is affected by many factors,including:●the size and nature of the patient population;●the severity of the disease under investigation;●the proximity of patients to clinical sites;42●the eligibility criteria for the trial;●the design of the clinical trial;●efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;●competing clinical trials; and●clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.Our inability to enroll a sufficient number of patients for our clinical trials could result in significant delays or may require us to abandon one or moreclinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the developmentof and approval processes for our product candidates and jeopardize our ability to achieve our clinical development timeline and goals, including the dates by whichwe will commence, complete and receive results from clinical trials. Enrollment delays may also delay or jeopardize our ability to commence sales and generaterevenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, ifneeded.We will need to obtain FDA approval of any proposed product brand names, and any failure or delay associated with such approval may adversely impact ourbusiness.A pharmaceutical product cannot be marketed in the U.S. or other countries until we have completed rigorous and extensive regulatory review processes,including approval of a brand name. Any brand names we intend to use for our product candidates will require approval from the FDA regardless of whether wehave secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically conducts a review of proposed productbrand names, including an evaluation of potential for confusion with other product names. The FDA may also object to a product brand name if it believes the nameinappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name forour product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and maybe required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to identify a suitable product brand name that would qualify under applicable trademark laws, notinfringe the existing rights of third parties and be acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timelymanner or at all, which would limit our ability to commercialize our product candidates.We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not confer marketingexclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.Market exclusivity afforded by orphan drug designation is generally offered as an incentive to drug developers to invest in developing and commercializingproducts for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a rare disease orcondition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to maintain orphan drug status isgenerally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the date of approval in the United States.We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect torely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States could belost. Further, even if we are granted orphan drug status, the FDA can still approve different drugs for use in treating the same indication or disease, which wouldcreate a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receivemarketing approval for the same indication before we do. If that were to happen, our applications for that indication may not be approved until the competingcompany’s period of exclusivity expires. Even if we are the first to obtain marketing authorization for an orphan drug indication, there are circumstances under whicha competing product may be approved for the same indication during the sevenyear period of marketing exclusivity, such as if the later product is shown to beclinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the sevenyear marketing exclusivity would notprevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than those in which we have been granted orphan drugdesignation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.43If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our business maysuffer. Because the target patient populations of our product candidates are small, we must be able to successfully identify patients and capture a significantmarket share to achieve and maintain profitability.We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who havefailed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new studies maychange the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may turn out to be lower thanexpected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to identify or gain access to, all ofwhich would adversely affect our results of operations and our business. Additionally, because our target patient populations are small, we will be required tocapture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements.Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, includingcGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions, civilpenalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and productionrestrictions and criminal prosecutions.Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdpartypayors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and the market opportunity for the product candidates may be smaller than weestimate.We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, or any other product candidate we develop is approved by theappropriate regulatory authorities for marketing and sale, it may nonetheless fail to gain sufficient market acceptance by physicians, patients, thirdparty payors andothers in the medical community. For example, physicians are often reluctant to switch their patients from existing therapies even when new and potentially moreeffective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that they are currently taking and do not want to switch unlesstheir physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.Efforts to educate the medical community and thirdparty payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not besuccessful. If our product candidate is approved but does not achieve an adequate level of market acceptance, we may not generate significant revenues and wemay not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for commercial sale, will depend ona number of factors, including:●the efficacy and safety of the product;●the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;●the prevalence and severity of any side effects;●the clinical indications for which the product is approved;●whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a firstline therapy or as a second or thirdline therapy;44●limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;●our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;●our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;●the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;●the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;●the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;●the approval of other new products for the same indications;●changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;●the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;●availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other thirdparty payors;●adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and●potential product liability claims.The potential market opportunities for our product candidate are difficult to estimate precisely. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities arepredicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, thirdparty research reports and other surveys. While we believe that our internalassumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently uncertain and thereasonableness of these assumptions has not been assessed by an independent source. If any of the assumptions proves to be inaccurate, the actual markets forour product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or INB03, XPro1595, LivNate, those approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limithow we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of our efforts.If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or INB03 therapy, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to continualreview, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities may imposesignificant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may significantly restrict ourability to successfully commercialize INKmune.We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirementsrelating to quality control and quality assurance as well as to the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Furthermore, any manufacturingfacilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture INKmune, and they will also be subject to additionalregulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or foreign regulatoryauthorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products,partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKMune, INB03 ormanufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or INB03 may result in restrictions or sanctions on our products or manufacturing facilities, includingwithdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our products, conduct additional clinical trials, make changes inthe labeling of our product or obtain reapprovals. This may cause our reputation in the market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.45If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed or causesundesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.Clinical trials of our product candidates will be conducted in carefully defined subsets of patients who have agreed to enter into clinical trials.Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any,or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is less effective thanpreviously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could occur:●regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;●we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;●additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;●we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;●regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;●we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;●we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;●the drug may become less competitive; and●our reputation may suffer.Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, postapproval clinical data,labeling and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual and additional requirements of the FDA and other regulatory authorities.These requirements include submissions of safety and other postmarketing information, reports, registration and listing requirements, good manufacturingpractices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, and recordkeeping. Even ifmarketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed orto conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. The FDAclosely regulates the postapproval marketing and promotion of pharmaceutical products to ensure such products are marketed only for the approved indicationsand in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.In addition, later discovery of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatoryrequirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:●restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;●restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;●restrictions on product distribution or use;46●requirements to conduct postmarketing clinical trials;●requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product postapproval;●warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;●withdrawal of the products from the market;●refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;●recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;●suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;●refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and●injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing and salescapabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue.We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal sales,marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to compete withother pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.If we are unable or decide not to establish internal sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, we expect to pursue collaborative arrangements regardingthe sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or if we are able to doso, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of such third parties, which may notbe successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties and our revenue from product sales may belower than if we had commercialized our product candidates ourselves. We also face competition in our search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketingand distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities orestablish or maintain relationships with thirdparty collaborators to commercialize any product in the United States or overseas.We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to compete effectively.The development and commercialization of new drug products is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from majorpharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune and any other of our productcandidates that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Specifically, due to the large unmet medical need, global demographics and relativelyattractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies thatcurrently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing,acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any productcandidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.47We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.We are dependent on certain members of our management, the loss of services of one or more of whom could materially adversely affect us. In particular,our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Dr. Raymond J. Tesi, our President and CEO. Dr. Tesi has overseen INmune Bio sinceinception and provides leadership for our growth and operations strategy as well as being an inventor of our patents. Although we have entered into anemployment agreement with Dr. Tesi, if he were to nevertheless terminate his employment with us, the loss of the services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverseeffect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other principal members of our management and scientific team. Weare not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company or to retire. The loss of any of our key personnel, or the inability to attractand retain qualified personnel, may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materiallyadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our management systems and to recruit and train newemployees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.Product liability lawsuits against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of any products that wemay develop.We face an inherent risk of product liability claims as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidate despite obtaining appropriate informedconsents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we may be suedif any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such productliability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liabilityor a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liabilityclaims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liabilityclaims may result in:●decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;●injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; ●withdrawal of clinical trial participants;●significant costs to defend resulting litigation;●substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;●loss of revenue;●reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and●the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any productliability litigation or other proceeding, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial. In addition, insurance coverage is becoming increasingly expensive. If weare unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, it could preventor inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results ofoperations and prospects.We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.To execute our business plan, we will need to rapidly add other management, accounting, regulatory, manufacturing and scientific staff. We currently have4 full time employees and retain the services of additional personnel on an independent contractor basis. We will need to attract, retain and motivate a significantnumber of new additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel, as well as highly skilled scientific and medical personnel, and toexpand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and secure collaborations to market anddistribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other resources. We also intend to add personnel in our researchand development and manufacturing departments as we expand our clinical trial and research capabilities. Any inability to attract and retain qualified employees toenable our planned growth and establish additional capabilities or our failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development andcommercialization efforts and harm our business.48If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our productcandidate could be delayed or curtailed.We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced bythe FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a preapproval inspection,the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any thirdparty manufacturers will need to expend significanttime, money and effort in production, recordkeeping and quality control to assure that each component of our product candidates meets applicable specificationsand other requirements. We or any of these thirdparty manufacturers may also be subject to comparable or more stringent regulations of foreign regulatoryauthorities. If we or any of our thirdparty manufacturers fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtailour ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to providecomponents of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed orhalted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials orcommercialization.If we or our thirdparty manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we may be liable fordamages.Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by usand any thirdparty manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States governing theuse, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures for using, storing anddisposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from medical orhazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of thesematerials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability couldexceed our resources. We do not have any insurance for liabilities arising from medical or hazardous materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws andregulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our research, development and production efforts, which could harm ourbusiness, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with respect to theclinical development of our product candidate may delay or impair our ability to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates.We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on thirdparties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely affect ourability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.Such clinical trial arrangements will provide us with information rights with respect to the clinical data, including access to and the ability to use andreference the data, including for our own regulatory filings, resulting from the clinical trials. If investigators or institutions breach their obligations with respect tothe clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials may be adverselyaffected.49Our reliance on these third parties for research and development activities will reduce our control over these activities but will not relieve us of ourresponsibilities. For example, we will design our clinical trials and will remain responsible for ensuring that each of our clinical trials is conducted in accordance withthe general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practices,or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights,integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control will not relieve us of these responsibilities andrequirements. We also are required to register ongoing clinical trials and post the results of completed clinical trials on a governmentsponsored database,ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.Furthermore, these third parties may also have relationships with other entities, some of which may be our competitors. If these third parties do notsuccessfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our statedprotocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or may be delayed inour efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.We also expect to rely on other third parties to store and distribute drug supplies for our clinical trials. Any performance failure on the part of ourdistributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional losses anddepriving us of potential product revenue.Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved, could materiallyaffect our opportunity to commercialize such products.The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change thehealthcare system in ways that could affect our ability to sell any of our products profitably, if approved. Among policymakers and payors in the United States andelsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality and/orexpanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these efforts and has been significantly affected bymajor legislative initiatives. There have been, and likely will continue to be, legislative and regulatory proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadeningthe availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuingefforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare mayadversely affect:●the demand for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;●our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;●the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and●the availability of capital.In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is toreduce the cost of healthcare, broaden access to health insurance, constrain healthcare spending, enhance remedies against fraud and abuse, add transparencyrequirements for the healthcare and health insurance industries, impose taxes and fees on the health industry, impose additional health policy reforms, andsubstantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact on federal reimbursementpolicies this legislation will have in general or on our business specifically, ACA may result in downward pressure on pharmaceutical reimbursement, which couldnegatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.50We cannot predict what healthcare reform initiatives may be adopted in the future. Further federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatorydevelopments are likely, and we expect ongoing initiatives to increase pressure on drug pricing. Such reforms could have an adverse effect on anticipated revenuesfrom product candidates that we may successfully develop and for which we may obtain regulatory approval and may affect our overall financial condition andability to develop product candidates.Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcingpatents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, timeconsumingand inherently uncertain. In addition, the United States has recently enacted and is currently implementing wideranging patent reform legislation. Further, recentU.S. Supreme Court rulings have either narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances or weakened the rights of patent owners in certainsituations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future, this combination of events has created uncertainty withrespect to the value of patents, once obtained.In September 2011, the LeahySmith America Invents Act, or the American Invents Act, or AIA, was signed into law. The AIA includes a number ofsignificant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation. TheUSPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law associated withthe AIA. It is not clear what other, if any, impact the AIA will have on the operation of our business. Moreover, the AIA and its implementation could increase theuncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “firsttofile” system for deciding which partyshould be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patentapplication in the USPTO after that date but before us could therefore be awarded a patent covering an invention of ours even if we had made the invention before itwas made by the third party. This will require us to be cognizant going forward of the time from invention to filing of a patent application. Furthermore, our ability toobtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology and the prior art allow our technology to bepatentable over the prior art. Since patent applications in the United States and most other countries are confidential for a period of time after filing, we cannot becertain that we were the first to either (1) file any patent application related to our product candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents orpatent applications.Among some of the other changes introduced by the AIA are changes that limit where a patentee may file a patent infringement suit and providingopportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16, 2013.Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to invalidate a patentclaim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even though the same evidencewould be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to use the USPTO procedures toinvalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a district court action.Business or economic disruptions or global health concerns could seriously harm our development efforts and increase our costs and expenses.Broadbased business or economic disruptions could adversely affect our ongoing or planned research and development activities. For example, inDecember 2019 an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the UnitedStates. To date, this outbreak has already resulted in extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the Wuhan region and has had ripple effects to businessesaround the world. Global health concerns, such as coronavirus, could also result in social, economic, and labor instability in the countries in which we or the thirdparties with whom we engage operate. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any ofthe third parties with whom we engage, including the suppliers, clinical trial sites, regulators and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were toexperience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materiallyand negatively impacted. It is also possible that global health concerns such as this one could disproportionately impact the clinical sites in which we conduct anyof our clinical trials, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition. The Company has not yetexperienced any known business disruptions as a result of the coronavirus.The United Kingdom’s vote in favor of withdrawing from the European Union could lead to increased market volatility which could make it more difficult forus to do business in the U.K. or have other adverse effects on our business.The United Kingdom approved the Withdrawal Agreement and left the European Union on January 31, 2020. As a result, we may face new regulatory costsand challenges that could have a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, currency exchange rates in the pound sterling and the euro with respect toeach other and the U.S. dollar have already been adversely affected by Brexit. Should this foreign exchange volatility continue it could cause volatility in ourfinancial results. Further this could change or eliminate the R&D rebate program that the company uses to help fund R&D and clinical trials.51A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our businessinvolves the storage and transmission of numerous classes of sensitive and/or confidential information and intellectual property, including information relating tosuppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we fail to effectively assess andidentify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly vulnerable to such risks. Additionally,while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures and incident response efforts may not be entirelyeffective. The theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of sensitive and/or confidential information or intellectual property, or interference with ourinformation technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely, could result in business disruption, negative publicity, brand damage,violation of privacy laws, loss of customers, potential liability and competitive disadvantage.Risks Related to our Common StockThe Company’s common stock is controlled by insiders.The Company’s officers and directors beneficially own 71.68% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, shareholders may have no effective voice inthe management of the Company.We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in theforeseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will retain anyearnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividendcan further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adverselyaffect the rights of the holders of our common stock.Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our Board of Directors will have theauthority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize theissuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments beforedividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of ourcommon stock. In addition, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stockor that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects, thus impairingour ability grow.We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal securitieslaws, including compliance with the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002 (the “SarbanesOxley Act”). The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxystatements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if weremained privately held.52It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the SarbanesOxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internalcontrols and reporting procedures.We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, theinformation that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no non binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and delaying the adoption of newor revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in thisAnnual Report, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get fromother public companies that comply with public company effective dates.Our stock price may be volatile.The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which arebeyond our control, including the following:●changes in our industry;●competitive pricing pressures;●our ability to obtain working capital financing;●additions or departures of key personnel;●limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on themarket price for our common stock;●sales of our common stock;●our ability to execute our business plan;●operating results that fall below expectations;●loss of any strategic relationship;●regulatory developments;53●economic and other external factors;●periodtoperiod fluctuations in our financial results; and●inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operatingperformance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult todispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce the marketprice of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors may therefore bearthe economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securitiesconvertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance ofadditional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTSNot applicable.ITEM 2. PROPERTIESThe Company subleases approximately 1,000 square feet of office space in La Jolla, California from a related party, which serves as the headquarters of theCompany. We pay approximately $4,000 per month for this sublease which expires in July 2024. We believe our current facilities are suitable and adequate to meet ourcurrent needs.ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGSWe currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. We may, from time to time, be subject to legal proceedings andclaims arising in the normal course of business.ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURESNot applicable.54PART IIITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIESCommon StockOur common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was nopublic market for our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, there were 38 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers andother nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders. Sales of Unregistered SecuritiesDuring December 2019, we issued to certain of our employees, consultants and directors, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,785,000 shares of ourcommon stock at a $3.91 exercise price. We deemed these issuances to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act either in reliance on Rule 701 of theSecurities Act as sales and offers under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701, or in reliance on Section4(a)(2), as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All recipients either received adequate information about our company or had access, throughemployment or other relationships, to such information. No underwriters were involved in the foregoing issuances of securities.On May 16, 2018, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Pacific Seaboard Investments Ltd. for corporate governance, compliance servicesregarding the filing of a listing application and assist with activities related to its initial public offering. The term of the consulting agreement is from April 24, 2018 toMay 1, 2021. In consideration of the consultant’s services, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares of its restricted common stock, of which 200,000 shares wereto be issued on May 16, 2018 (these shares are not yet issued as of December 31, 2018), 200,000 shares shall be locked up for six months after the effective date ofthe Company’s registration statement and 200,000 shares shall be locked up for 10 months after the date of the Company’s offering. Pursuant to this agreement, theCompany recorded $4,626,000 of stockbased compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2018 for the 600,000 shares of common stock to be issued.During June 2019, the Company issued 400,000 shares of its common stock to Pacific Seaboard, whereby the Company was initially required to issue 600,000 sharesto Pacific Seaboard, but subsequently received a waiver from Pacific Seaboard during April 2019 permanently waiving the last 200,000 shares owed. The Companyrecorded a waiver of common stock issuable of $1,542,000 during the year ended December 31, 2019 pursuant to the waiver agreement.During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company received $900,000 in cash from Luminus in exchange for 400,000 shares of the Company’s commonstock. Luminus is owned by a significant shareholder of the Company.Purchases of Equity Securities by the IssuerThere were no repurchases of our common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019.Use of ProceedsOn February 4, 2019, the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of common stock in an initial public offering at a price of $8.00 per share pursuant to a RegistrationStatement on Form S1 (File No. 333227122) , which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2018. The aggregateproceeds to the Company from the offering were $7,251,142 reflecting gross proceeds of $8,166,560 less offering costs of $915,418. During the period from theoffering through December 31, 2019, the Company used the proceeds from the initial public offering to fund operations, including our research and developmentactivities.55Equity Compensation Plan InformationThe following table provides certain information with respect to all of our compensation plans in effect as of December 31, 2019:Plan Category(A)Number ofSecurities to beIssued UponExercise ofOutstandingOptions,Warrants andRights(B)WeightedAverageExercise PriceofOutstandingOptions,Warrantsand Rights(C)Number ofSecuritiesRemainingAvailablefor FutureIssuanceUnder EquityCompensationPlans(excludingsecuritiesreflected incolumn(A))Equity Compensation Plans approved by stockholders3,417,000(1)$5.77274,525(2)Equity Compensation Plans not approved by stockholders———Total3,417,000$5.77274,525(1)Consists of shares subject to outstanding stock options, under the INmune Bio, Inc. 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) and INmune Bio, Inc. 2017Stock Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan) some of which are vested and some of which remain subject to the vesting of the respective equity award.(2)Consists of shares available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan and the 2017 Plan.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSYou should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statementsand notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis containsforwardlooking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forwardlooking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Form10K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “ForwardLooking Statements.”OverviewWe are a clinicalstage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease. We do this by targetingfour key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, andmicroglial cells of the central nervous system. NK cells are the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, suchas cancer or virallyinfected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune cells such as Tcells. NKcells play a key role in the immunesurveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating residual disease which may cause people to relapse aftercytotoxic therapy. MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow, take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerouscells, to protect the tumor from immunological attack by the patient’s immune system. MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapysuch as currently approved checkpoint inhibitors. Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible for protecting the neuralunit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection. In the setting of chronic inflammation, microglial cells become activated and causedysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. Hepatic stellate cells are immunologicallyactive cells that are part of the liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease. INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug used indifferent therapeutic arenas. INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications. XPro1595 in the name of the drug for neurology and psychiatricindications. LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.We believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy and LivNate, orHSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’ innate immune system to their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy. For oncology,neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is cancer specific. The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends onimmunologic parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment. The type of cancer is not important. This means that both therapies can be used to treatpatients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed to respond. Put simply, we are treating the immunesystem to attack the patients’ cancer, not targeting the patient’s cancer directly.We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune itself will not kill cancer cells. INKmuneinteracts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell. INKmune is areplication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in theircirculation and ii) those NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro. INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system hasrecovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.Likewise, we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology inneurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will benefit from the therapy and monitorthe response to the therapy. The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation. Our initial program withXPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease with biomarkers inflammation.Likewise, we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local inflammatorycycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many inflammatory liver diseases. Our initial programwith LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.57INB03, shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using DominantNegative technology. DominantNegative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF. TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that form a homotrimer that bind the TNFreceptor. INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer. The heterotrimer isunable to bind TNFR. Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not biologic affect. This is shown in Figure 5 below.58The unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF. All currently available TNF inhibitors are nonselective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF. This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below translates into therapeutic differences. The mostobvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is related to safety. Nonselective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because theyinhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. INB03 is not immunosuppressive because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3). Inanimal models of cancer, the combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor comparedto animals treated with the nonselective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016). In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is essential for MDSC proliferation bycausing phosphorylation of STAT3. Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses. Without theimmunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor. Asecondary effect of INB03 is to improve NK cellsdendritic cell (NK/DC) crosstalk to help expand patient’s antitumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic Tcells of the adaptive immune system. tmTNF is essential to NK/DC crosstalk.We believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes the innateimmune system of patients with cancer. The products can be used alone, in combination with other antitumor or immunotherapy treatments or with each other. Inthe near term, we are developing the products separately. After completion of proofofconcept Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combinationtherapy. Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or incombination with each other.The mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease is different.Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system. Activated microglial cells produce inflammatory cytokines andphagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect the brain against infection. Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelentinginflammatory process that is destructive to the host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death. Death of nerve cells cancause cognitive decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”). Death of oligodendrocytes that produce myelincan cause MS and other demyelinating diseases. In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting thefunction of the transmembrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique. Neutralization of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to transmembrane TNFeffects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction, promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons. Theseeffects have benefits across a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases. At this time, due to nondilutive funding provided by the ParttheCloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease. The funding provided by the Alzheimer’s Associationsupports a Phase I trial. If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support aPhase II trial. In the future, when resources become available, we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.59The mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different. In the liver, LivNate targetsHSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver. Our first therapeutic program will use LivNate to treat NASH. NASH is a complex, but silentliver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US; soon to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US. The company views NASH as adisease of chronic inflammation caused by three inflammatory loops. The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance. The regionalinflammatory loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat. The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune activation. Theseinflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis – the hallmarks of NASH. Preclinical models of LivNate in NASH supportinitiating a clinical study next year.Figure 7: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH. The peripheral loop includes obesity and insulinresistance. Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in the liver. As obesity and insulin resistanceprogress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease. The intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammationsecondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly via the portal vein. The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation ofresident innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death, and fibrosis the pathologichallmarks of NASH. Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly, multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyteinflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepaticlipotoxicity, liver inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.Mesenchymal Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an antiinflammatory treatment strategyor a vector to deliver gene therapy. We have access to a large quantity of human, GMPgrade MSC that can be repurposed for use in medical research or clinicaltrials. We plan to sell these cells to third parties. We may expand this activity in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer forcompanies developing MSC products or developing our own MSC based products. At this time, the program will be selfsustaining and growing on reinvestment ofrevenues from the sale of the MSC products.60Our Integrated Discovery and Development Process. Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack disease allows forsynergies between the development and discovery process. A majority of our effort is focused on the development process that includes improving themanufacturing systems for INKmune and the DNTNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing bioassays to be used during the clinical trials. Thesemanufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products. INB03 has usesbeyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative andneuropsychiatric diseases. The DNTNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and other inflammatory diseases of the liver andgastrointestinal tract. Although the Company will focus on the immunooncology uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD withXPro1595 in the nearterm, the Company plans to expand the development into other indications as resources become available. All attempts will be made to fundnew research and development with nondilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products. Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, includingpreparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations. To date, we have generated no revenue. Wehave incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181. Our net losses were $7,678,313and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with ourresearch and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stockbased compensation.We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DNTNF platform until we successfully completedevelopment and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates. We do not expect that to happen for at least the next several years, if ever.Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equityofferings, debt financings, government or other thirdparty funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances andlicensing arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all, whichwould have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our research and development programs orcommercialization efforts. Failure to receive additional funding could cause the Company to fail.As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As anemerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to publiccompanies. These provisions include:●only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;●reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;●no nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;●exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and●delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until thosestandards apply to private companies.We have elected to take advantage of the abovereferenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earliertime that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, wehave more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by nonaffiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of nonconvertible debt over a threeyear period. Wemay choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.61Components of Operating ResultsOperating ExpensesResearch and DevelopmentResearch and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop ourproduct candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory filings forproduct candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily consist of:●clinical trial and regulatoryrelated costs;●expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;●manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and●employeerelated expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stockbased compensationWe typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs byproduct candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product candidatesor development programs.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in Australia, in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that apercentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reductionof research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentivewill be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.We participate, through our whollyowned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdomtax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government, and suchincentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is recognized when thereis reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. Weexpect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product candidatesthrough clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The process ofconducting clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time consuming. The successful development of product candidates is highlyuncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates. This isdue to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.62The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:●per patient trial costs;●the number of sites included in the clinical trials;●the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;●the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;●the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;●the number of doses that patients receive;●the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;●the dropout or discontinuation rates of patients;●potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;●the duration of patient followup;●the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and●the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trialWe do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incursignificant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future, which may fluctuate significantly from quartertoquarter and yeartoyear. Weanticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:●continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;●potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;●seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;●establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our productcandidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;●seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;●maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;●hire clinical, manufacturing, scientific and other personnel to support our product candidates development and future commercialization efforts;●add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and●incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stockbased compensation; professional fees for legal,consulting, accounting and tax services; overhead, including rent and utilities; and other general operating expenses not otherwise classified as research anddevelopment expenses.Waiver of Common Stock IssuableWaiver of common stock issuable consists of a reversal of stockbased compensation for a consultant that permanently waived the Company issuing200,000 shares owed to the consultant which were expensed in a prior period.Other incomeOther income primarily consists of interest income on money market accounts.63Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and EstimatesThis management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we haveprepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financialstatements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We baseour estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis formaking judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimatesunder different assumptions or conditions.InProcess Research and DevelopmentThe Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinitelived intangible assets, which consists of inprocess research and development (“IPR&D”), on anannual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinitelived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the intangibleasset is less than the carrying value. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carryingamount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by comparing the carrying values of theassets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of future operating results that are used in thepreparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinitelived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During theperiod the assets are considered indefinitelived, they are tested for impairment. If the related project is terminated or abandoned, the Company may have a full orpartial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is very complex and requiressignificant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense growth rates, changes in workingcapital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.StockBased CompensationWe measure and recognize compensation expense for all stockbased awards granted to service providers. employees, and directors based on the estimatedfair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the BlackScholes optionpricing model,which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. Thesevariables include, but are not limited to, the market value of common stock on the grant date, the expected dividend yield, the expected term of the awards, the riskfree interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards.We recognize the fair value of stock options on a straightline basis over the period during which a service provider is required to provide services inexchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.20192018Market value of common stock on grant date$3.91$7.71Dividend yield0%0%Expected term (in years)6.010.05.75Riskfree interest rate1.71% – 1.76%2.40% – 2.56%Expected volatility94%262% – 267%64Market value of common stock on grant date. During 2019, the market value on the grant date was the closing stock price on the date of grant. During 2018, wedetermined the fair value of the common stock on grant date based upon a thirdparty valuation as we were a private company.Dividend Yield. The expected dividend is zero as we have never declared dividends and have no current plans to do so in the foreseeable future.Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that our stockbased awards are expected to be outstanding.RiskFree Interest Rate. The riskfree interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zerocoupon U.S. Treasury notes withmaturities approximately equal to the stock option’s expected term.Expected Volatility. We estimate the expected volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of a few unrelated public companies within our industry that weconsider to be comparable to our business over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We intend to continue to consistently apply thisprocess using the same or similar companies to estimate the expected volatility until sufficient historical information regarding the volatility of the share price of ourcommon stock becomes available.OffBalance Sheet ArrangementsDuring the periods presented, we did not have any offbalance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.Licensing and Collaboration AgreementsWe anticipate that inlicensing, outlicensing and strategic collaborations will become an integral part of our operations, providing the company withopportunities to leverage our partners’ expertise and capabilities to further expand the potential of our technologies, product candidates and revenue streams.XencorIn October 2017, we licensed INB03, also known as XPro1595, from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable knowhow,intellectual property, preclinical data, regulatory documentation and product stocks. Currently, we are focused on the immuneoncology uses of this unique asset.In the future, we may develop the asset in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, with a variety of delivery techniques by ourselves or in conjunction with partners.Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).Results of OperationsComparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018Year EndedDecember 31,2019December 31,2018ChangeGeneral and Administrative$6,016,056$9,085,100$(3,069,044)Research and Development3,281,9453,354,923(72,978)Waiver of common stock issuable(1,542,000)(1,542,000)Other Income77,68877,688Net loss$(7,678,313)$(12,440,023)$(4,761,710)65General and AdministrativeGeneral and administrative expenses were $6,016,056 for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $9,085,100 for the year ended December 31, 2018.The decrease was primarily attributable to lower stockcompensation ($5.5 million lower in 2019), partially offset by higher costs associated with being a publiccompany ($1.7 million higher in 2019) and higher salaries ($0.3 million higher in 2019).Research and DevelopmentResearch and development expenses decreased to $3,281,945 for the year ended December 31, 2019 from $3,354,923 for the year ended December 31, 2018.During the year ending December 31, 2019, the Company recorded $0.9 million of contra research and development expenses related to a grant received from theAlzheimer’s Association. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded stockbased compensation of $1.8 million and $2.1 million,respectively, within research and development expenses. Excluding stockbased compensation and the grant, research and development expense was higher in 2019,compared to 2018 as a result of the Company continuing to advance its drug platform.Other IncomeDuring 2019, the Company earned $77,688 of interest on money market investments and recorded the interest within other income.Liquidity and Capital ResourcesLiquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on anongoing basis.We incurred a net loss of $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used in operating activitieswas $5,384,656 and $2,058,994 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily with proceedsfrom the sales of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.0 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cashused in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we advance our products under development.Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, thirdparty clinical and preclinical research and development services, compensation andrelated expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing ourspending.As a publicly traded company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the SarbanesOxley Act of 2002, as well asrules adopted by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market, require public companies to implement specified corporate governance practices that were inapplicable tous as a private company. We expect these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more timeconsuming and costly.As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and working capital of $7,064,399. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of stockbased compensation expense as well as the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which includedthe general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development, as well as the lack of sources of revenues until such time as theCompany’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12 months fromthe issuance date of these financial statements. Furthermore, our independent auditors, in their report on our audited financial statements for the year endedDecember 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to pursue additional fundingthrough the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to allow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern,however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so. We estimate our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet ouranticipated cash requirements into the third quarter of 2020.66Initial Public OfferingDuring the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering in which the Company sold 1,020,820 shares of its commonstock for gross proceeds of $8,166,560 (net proceeds of $7,251,142).April and May sale of common stockDuring April and May 2019, the Company sold 522,212 shares of its common stock to certain investors for cash proceeds of $4,727,879, of which theCompany’s CEO purchased 11,100 shares for $119,325 of cash and the Company’s CFO purchased 5,000 shares for $53,550 of cash.The Lincoln Park TransactionOn May 15, 2019, the Company entered into the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Lincoln Park has agreed to purchase from us up to anaggregate of $20.0 million of the Company’s common stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 24month term of the agreement. The Companyalso entered into a registration rights agreement with Lincoln Park pursuant to which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)the registration statement to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the shares of common stock that have been ormay be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. The registration statement was effective as of July 2, 2019.As a result, on May 15, 2019, 70,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for Lincoln Park’scommitment to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the agreement, and 30,000 newly issued shares of common stock, valued at $10.00 per share,were sold to Lincoln Park in an initial purchase for an aggregate gross purchase price of $300,000 ($230,000 net of offering costs).Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to LincolnPark, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to, an additional $19.7 million worth of shares of the Company’s common stock. Such future sales of commonstock by the Company, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the Company’s option, over the 24month term of theagreement.As contemplated by the Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement, and so long as the closing price of the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.50 per share, thenthe Company may direct Lincoln Park, at its sole discretion to purchase up to 20,000 shares of its common stock on any business day. The price per share for suchpurchases will be equal to the lower of: (i) the lowest sale price on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the arithmetic average of the three (3) lowest closing saleprices for the Company’s common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive business days ending on the business day immediately preceding such purchase date(in each case, to be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, noncash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction that occurs on or afterthe date of the purchase agreement). The maximum amount of shares subject to any single regular purchase increases as the Company’s share price increases,subject to a maximum of $1.0 million.In addition to regular purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional purchasesif the closing sale price of the common stock exceeds certain threshold prices as set forth in the purchase agreement. There are no trading volume requirements orrestrictions under the purchase agreement nor any upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of common stock.The Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement and the registration rights agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions tocompleting future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the purchase agreement at anytime, at no cost or penalty. During any “event of default” under the purchase agreement, all of which are outside of Lincoln Park’s control, Lincoln Park does nothave the right to terminate the purchase agreement; however, the Company may not initiate any regular or other purchase of shares by Lincoln Park, until such eventof default is cured. In addition, in the event of bankruptcy proceedings by or against the Company, the purchase agreement will automatically terminate.67Actual sales of shares of common stock to Lincoln Park under the purchase agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Companyfrom time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriatesources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from theCompany as it directs in accordance with the purchase agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct orindirect short selling or hedging of the Company’s shares.Cash FlowsThe following table provides information regarding our cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018:Year Ended December 31,20192018Net cash used in operating activities$(5,384,656)$(2,058,994)Net cash provided by financing activities12,209,021900,000Impact on cash from foreign currency translation(15,044)(25,513)Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents$6,809,321$(1,184,507)Net Cash Used in Operating ActivitiesOur cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.Operating activities used $5.4 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from our net loss of $7.7 million, a net cash outflowof $0.3 million for changes in our net operating assets and liabilities, offset by noncash stockbased compensation charges of $4.1 million, partially offset by awaiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million.

(the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidatedstatements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of theCompany as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, in conformity withaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Explanatory Paragraph – Going ConcernThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described inNote 2, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has not yet generated any revenue from operations since inception. These conditions raisesubstantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. Theconsolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.Basis for OpinionThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statementsbased on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are requiredto be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities andExchange Commission and the PCAOB.We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonableassurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were weengaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control overfinancial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, weexpress no such opinion.Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performingprocedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financialstatements.

(“INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is an early stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused ondeveloping and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not functioning normally and contributing to thepatient’s disease. INmune Bio’s focus is on the innate immune system that include natural killer cells (“NK cells”), hepatic stellate cells of the liver (HSC cells),myeloid derived suppressor cells (“MDSC cells”), microglial cells and dendritic cells (“DC cells”), to offer unique therapeutic opportunities. INmune Bio plans todevelop their four existing drug platforms: INKmune (“INKmune”) which primes NK cells, INB03 (“INB03”) which down regulates MDSC cells, LivNate, whichtargets soluble TNF – a key cytokine driving pathologic chronic inflammation, and XPro1595 that targets microglial cell activation in the brain – a cause ofneuroinflammation. Basis of Presentation and Principles of ConsolidationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).The consolidated financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of INmune Bio, its whollyowned UKsubsidiary, and its whollyowned Australia subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERNAs of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally occurred as aresult of noncash stockbased compensation expense and the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products whichincluded the general and administrative expenses associated with its organization and product development as well as the lack of sources of revenues until suchtime as the Company’s products are commercialized. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12months following the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect onthe recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Managementplans to seek additional funding through the issuance of common stock for cash and by implementing its strategic plan to develop its pharmaceutical products andallow the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern, however there cannot be any assurance that we will be successful in doing so.The Company raised net proceeds of approximately $12.2 million from sales of its common stock during the year ended December 31, 2019, and received $0.9 millionin grants during 2019, which the Company estimates should meet its planned operating requirements into the third quarter of 2020. The Company plans to seek toraise additional capital to meet its future operating requirements until such time as it develops a recurring source of revenues, which is not expected for severalyears. The amount and timing of these capital raises is subject to general market conditions. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will be able tocomplete these capital raises.F6NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESUse of EstimatesPreparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.From time to time, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000. As of December 31, 2019, theCompany had cash of approximately $6.5 million that was in excess of the federally insured limit. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financialinstitutions.ReceivablesReceivables currently consist of R&D tax credit receivable, value added tax (“VAT”) receivable, and a Goods and Services tax (“GST”) receivable. The R&D tax creditreceivable is recorded when R&D is incurred. At that time, the Company records a receivable for the amount of the credit it expects to receive based on the expensesincurred. VAT receivables and GST receivables are recorded when the Company receives an invoice with VAT or GST. The collectability of these receivables areevaluated periodically based on the actual R&D credit returns submitted, the VAT returns submitted, and the GST returns submitted. As of December 31, 2019 and2018, there were no trade receivables.Intangible AssetsThe Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with inprocess research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses and suchuses are not restricted under applicable license agreements; patent applications (principally legal fees), patent purchases, and trademarks related to its cell line asintangible assets. Acquired inprocess research and development costs that do not have alternative uses are expensed as incurred. Amortization is initiated foracquired inprocess research and development intangible assets when their useful lives have been determined. These acquired inprocess research and developmentintangible assets are tested at least annually or when a triggering event occurs that could indicate a potential impairment. No impairments of intangible assets wererecognized during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.Basic and Diluted Loss per ShareBasic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during theperiod. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potentialcommon shares if their effect is antidilutive. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted sharesoutstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.At December 31, 2019, the Company had 3,417,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,660,874 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.F7At December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,632,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options and 1,255,667 potentially issuableshares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.StockBased CompensationThe Company utilizes the BlackScholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highlysubjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fairvalue of our sharebased compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fairvalue, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stockbased payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. TheCompany accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.Research and DevelopmentResearch and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of research anddevelopment costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stockbased compensation, costs of preclinical studies,clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead costs, regulatory andcompliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the Company’s behalf.The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over the periods inwhich the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.Income TaxesThe Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for theestimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences).The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.Foreign Currency TranslationThe Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are the U.S.Dollar for its U.S. based operations, British Pound (“GBP”) for its United Kingdombased operations and Australian Dollars (“AUD”) for its Australianbasedoperations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statementof operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under othercomprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operationsand comprehensive income (loss).ReclassificationsCertain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.F8Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsDuring the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 201602, Leases(ASC 842), which introduces the balance sheet recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases underprevious guidance. The Company has adopted the new lease standard using the new transition option issued under the amendments in ASU 201811, Leases, whichallowed the Company to continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840, Leases, in the comparative periods presented inthe year of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among otherthings, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial termof 12 months or less off of the balance sheet. The Company recognizes those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and ComprehensiveIncome on a straightline basis over the lease term. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cashflows.In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 201807, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Sharebased PaymentAccounting.” ASU 201807 aligns accounting for sharebased payments issued to nonemployees to that of employees under the existing guidance of Topic 718,with certain exceptions. This update supersedes previous guidance for equitybased payments to nonemployees under Subtopic 50550, “Equity – EquitybasedPayments to Nonemployees.” It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption had no impact on the Company’sconsolidated statement of operations, loss per share or cash flows.Subsequent EventsThe Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITYAccording to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to certainrequirements.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial DisclosureNone.Item 9A. Controls and ProceduresDisclosure Controls and ProceduresEvaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls andprocedures as of December 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Securities Exchange Actof 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosedby a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer concluded that, due to the small size of the Company and limited segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effectiveas of December 31, 2019.Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting FirmOur independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reportingfor as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur CEO and our CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined inExchange Act Rules 13a15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. Inmaking this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were, and continue to beineffective, as of December 31, 2019 due to material weaknesses in our internal controls due to the limited segregation of duties.A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard 1305)or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not beprevented or detected.It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that theobjectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events.Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under allpotential future conditions, regardless of how remote.In light of the material weakness described above, the Company intends to devote additional resources to the accounting and finance department as soonas it becomes practical. We believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results ofoperations and cash flows for the periods presented.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this AnnualReport on Form 10K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.Item 9B.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial DisclosureNone.Item 9A. Controls and ProceduresDisclosure Controls and ProceduresEvaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls andprocedures as of December 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Securities Exchange Actof 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosedby a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer concluded that, due to the small size of the Company and limited segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effectiveas of December 31, 2019.Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting FirmOur independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reportingfor as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur CEO and our CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined inExchange Act Rules 13a15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. Inmaking this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were, and continue to beineffective, as of December 31, 2019 due to material weaknesses in our internal controls due to the limited segregation of duties.A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard 1305)or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not beprevented or detected.It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that theobjectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events.Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under allpotential future conditions, regardless of how remote.In light of the material weakness described above, the Company intends to devote additional resources to the accounting and finance department as soonas it becomes practical. We believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results ofoperations and cash flows for the periods presented.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this AnnualReport on Form 10K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.Item 9B.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial DisclosureNone.Item 9A. Controls and ProceduresDisclosure Controls and ProceduresEvaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls andprocedures as of December 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Securities Exchange Actof 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosedby a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer concluded that, due to the small size of the Company and limited segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effectiveas of December 31, 2019.Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting FirmOur independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reportingfor as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur CEO and our CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined inExchange Act Rules 13a15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. Inmaking this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were, and continue to beineffective, as of December 31, 2019 due to material weaknesses in our internal controls due to the limited segregation of duties.A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard 1305)or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not beprevented or detected.It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that theobjectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events.Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under allpotential future conditions, regardless of how remote.In light of the material weakness described above, the Company intends to devote additional resources to the accounting and finance department as soonas it becomes practical. We believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results ofoperations and cash flows for the periods presented.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this AnnualReport on Form 10K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.Item 9B.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial DisclosureNone.Item 9A. Controls and ProceduresDisclosure Controls and ProceduresEvaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls andprocedures as of December 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Securities Exchange Actof 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosedby a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer concluded that, due to the small size of the Company and limited segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effectiveas of December 31, 2019.Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting FirmOur independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reportingfor as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur CEO and our CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined inExchange Act Rules 13a15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. Inmaking this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were, and continue to beineffective, as of December 31, 2019 due to material weaknesses in our internal controls due to the limited segregation of duties.A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard 1305)or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not beprevented or detected.It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that theobjectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events.Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under allpotential future conditions, regardless of how remote.In light of the material weakness described above, the Company intends to devote additional resources to the accounting and finance department as soonas it becomes practical. We believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results ofoperations and cash flows for the periods presented.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this AnnualReport on Form 10K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.Item 9B.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial DisclosureNone.Item 9A. Controls and ProceduresDisclosure Controls and ProceduresEvaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls andprocedures as of December 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Securities Exchange Actof 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosedby a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer concluded that, due to the small size of the Company and limited segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effectiveas of December 31, 2019.Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting FirmOur independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reportingfor as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur CEO and our CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined inExchange Act Rules 13a15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. Inmaking this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were, and continue to beineffective, as of December 31, 2019 due to material weaknesses in our internal controls due to the limited segregation of duties.A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard 1305)or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not beprevented or detected.It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that theobjectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events.Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under allpotential future conditions, regardless of how remote.In light of the material weakness described above, the Company intends to devote additional resources to the accounting and finance department as soonas it becomes practical. We believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results ofoperations and cash flows for the periods presented.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this AnnualReport on Form 10K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.Item 9B.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial DisclosureNone.Item 9A. Controls and ProceduresDisclosure Controls and ProceduresEvaluation of Disclosure Controls and ProceduresOur management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls andprocedures as of December 31, 2019. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e) under the Securities Exchange Actof 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosedby a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in theSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to bedisclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including itsprincipal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controlsand procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarilyapplies its judgment in evaluating the costbenefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and ChiefFinancial Officer concluded that, due to the small size of the Company and limited segregation of duties, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effectiveas of December 31, 2019.Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting FirmOur independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reportingfor as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial ReportingOur CEO and our CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined inExchange Act Rules 13a15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. Inmaking this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of SponsoringOrganizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were, and continue to beineffective, as of December 31, 2019 due to material weaknesses in our internal controls due to the limited segregation of duties.A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard 1305)or combination of control deficiencies that result in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not beprevented or detected.It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that theobjectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events.Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under allpotential future conditions, regardless of how remote.In light of the material weakness described above, the Company intends to devote additional resources to the accounting and finance department as soonas it becomes practical. We believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results ofoperations and cash flows for the periods presented.Changes in Internal Control over Financial ReportingThere were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this AnnualReport on Form 10K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.Item 9B.
